Juan out of World Cup
Reports say South Africa flanker Juan Smith has been ruled out for the entire Super 15 rugby season and may miss the World Cup after tearing his Achilles tendon.
The Super 15 website, quoting Cheetahs sources, says Smith will be sidelined for the next six to nine months. Smith would also miss the Tri-Nations, and possibly the World Cup in New Zealand in September.
Cheetahs captain Smith left the field just two minutes into his first game of the season against the defending champion Bulls in round two of the Super 15 on Friday. The report says he will have surgery early next week. The 69-times capped Smith, a World Cup winner in 2007, passed a late fitness test on an ankle injury before the match.

Ashton drives England on
England manager Martin Johnson compared Chris Ashton to Jason Robinson after the winger’s four-try display against Italy. The former Rugby league player was close to reconverting from Rugby Union altogether just 18 months ago after an unsure start with Northampton, but with 9 tries in his first 9 tests since his debut against France last season, he will be delighted with his decision to continue.

Ashton looks to smash try scoring record
“It’s an interesting way to end your career” Martin Johnson chuckled when asked about Chris Ashton’s two swallow dives in England’s 59-13 rout against Italy. The former England captain was in a particularly light hearted mood after seeing his England side decimate an admittedly poor Italy side, even raising a smile when Aston elaborately dived over for England’s eighth try of the match.

Bowe injury adds to Irish worries
Irish winger Tommy Bowe will miss the 6 Nations clash against France in Dublin due to a knee injury which also forced him to miss the 13-11 win against Italy on Saturday. The Osprey’s man is unlikely to feature after damaging his knee and has now been omitted from an extended squad to continue his rehabilitation elsewhere.
