Forwards coach says he is unaware of any problem and administrators have to answer for it

Matt Proudfoot during the South African national men's rugby team media conference at Pivot Conference Centre, Montecasino on July 15 2019. Picture: GALLO IMAGES/ LEE WARRENThat weighty question‚ or verbal hand grenade, was lobbed at Springbok forwards coach Matt Proudfoot on Tuesday and it put the former prop on the back foot.

“Are you sure he is not playing?” he asked. “Mr [Steve] Hansen said he has a full squad to pick from in his last media conference and I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a little trick up their sleeve. Proudfoot‚ however‚ smells a rat. Whether Retallick plays or not the match is likely to be determined by small margins. That means the loser should not be discounted from bouncing back later in the tournament.
