Munster drop Bok centre
Jean de Villiers has been axed for Munster’s European Cup match against Perpignan on Friday.
According to the Irish Independent, De Villiers’s midfield partnership with New Zealander Lifeimi Mafi has failed to gel over the course of five Celtic League and two European Cup matches, with Munster losing four of those seven games. De Villiers, however, has been playing out of position at No 13 in order to accomodate Mafi at 12.
The Bok centre, who is on a contract reputed to be worth around €300,000, has been replaced by Ireland international Keith Earls.
In some good news for South African rugby, Wian du Preez will make his European Cup debut for Munster at loosehead prop in the absence of Marcus Horan. The Cheetahs prop has just begun a two-month loan deal with the Irish club.

@Jozi: What was quite instructional was just how well Jacques Fourie ran outside of Jamie Roberts in teh baa baas game.
JdV has not made opportunities like that for Fourie in a while… perhaps if he did, we would run the ball a bit more.
December 14th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Oh well he’ll just have to bide his time, and he will feel a part of the culture of the club this will not take long before he will be back on the field.Good luck JDV
