Cheetahs now lose Cook

Johannesburg - The Toyota Cheetahs received another injury setback as they look for some redemption on their Vodacom Super Rugby tour of Australasia, with flank Jean Cook heading home as another casualty of the tough two weeks in New Zealand.

According to the supersport.com website, the Cheetahs face the Brumbies on Saturday in their third tour game – traditionally the toughest week on tour – and will need to choose a new loose trio again if they are to make any headway and return home with some points.

Cook has a groin injury and has already left for home, and will see a specialist back in Bloemfontein to ascertain the extent of the injury.
