NO-HEADLINE

Francois Pienaar, the World Cup-winning captain, has been chosen to lead South Africa in three Tests against Fiji, Australia and New Zealand after proving his fitness after a shoulder injury. Although his Transvaal side lost a tough Currie Cup match against Super 12 finalists Natal 34- 24, Pienaar completed the game with no ill-effects.
