Springboks hooker Marx to miss Tests
By Peter Thompson
South Africa will be without Malcolm Marx for the Tests against Wales and England next month due to a hamstring injury.
The Lions hooker suffered a high-grade tear of his hamstring during a 28-19 defeat to the Hurricanes last Saturday.
Marx does not require surgery, but the 23-year-old will be sidelined for at least six weeks.
The loss of Marx is a blow to new Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus ahead of a one-off Test against Wales in Washington DC and three clashes with England on home soil.
Marx was named SA Rugby Player of the Year in 2017 and also claimed the SA Rugby Young Player and Super Rugby Player of the Year awards.

I still see nothing in Sotutus play that hes changed his upright running style that failed so many times against decent international defences like the french. Other than that… Iose? Well you have covered his limitations well. If Sititi had been playing the the season… Jacobson? Grace?…Neither shout pick me. So Ardie it is.
Go to commentsThere isn’t one element you mentioned there that every top class or successful team gets up to. The great All blacks sides used to play on the ‘fringes or edge’ but it was essentially saying they were doing something illegal or borderline to gain dominance. The fine margins at the top are minute between the top sides. La Rochelle, the crusaders, Saracens, Toulon etc etc…..have all been accused. Get over it, the comment comes across as salty and naive. Northampton as well as they played to get back into the match were thoroughly beaten and controlled for 60 minutes and Leinster have only themselves to blame for kicking it away and hence losing control of the match and being nearly the architects of their own downfall.
