Springbok Sevens forward Chris Dry has suffered a colossal blow after being ruled out of the game for between six and nine months following a knee injury sustained on Sunday. Dry‚ 29‚ suffered the setback during the Blitzboks’ quarter-final of the Cape Town Sevens against Fiji and medical tests revealed major ligament damage to the knee. It puts the bruising player‚ who also represented the Cheetahs at looseforward during the 2016 Currie Cup‚ at risk of missing the Sevens World Cup in San Francisco next July. The injury has definitely ruled him out of the remainder of the World Series‚ which still has eight of the 10 legs to play.
