A Springbok rookie's tour could be over before it has even started.
Uncapped Springbok flyhalf Yaqeen Ahmed missed Monday's training session in Turin due to a shoulder injury, putting his tour in doubt. Head coach Rassie Erasmus revealed the 20-year-old Stormers player was honest about being sore and might have to return to South Africa for scans and further assessment.
