--:--
Hope is fading that the Springboks’ trophy tour now under way will make its way to Nelson Mandela Bay.

The tour started in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Soweto — concluding at the FNB Stadium — on Thursday (November 2), and moves to Cape Town (Friday) and Durban (Saturday) before ending in East London on Sunday.

In Behind The Herald Headlines with Daron Mann this week, we speak to acting EP Rugby Union president George Malgas about the decision.
