Boks won’t bite back over false Frans Malherbe claims

The Springboks will not seek an apology from Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper after it made a flimsy claim that prop Frans Malherbe had bitten an opponent based on a single photograph. Malherbe was “devastated” at a report that appeared on Thursday that he bit American prop Matt Trouville in the first half of the Boks’ 64-0 Pool B win at the Olympic Stadium.
