Springbok Elton Jantjies sent home over alleged affair with team dietician

Elton Jantjies news

The married father of three was sent home to deal with the ‘personal reports’ and ‘eliminate distractions, but no protocols were broken, according to the SARU.

The dietician, named as Zeenat Simjee, was also sent home.

The Springboks are currently in Buenas Aries preparing for their Rugby Championship clash against Los Pumas this weekend.

In the lead up to the All Blacks game in August, Jantjies did not stay with the team at their hotel, but instead booked a guesthouse nearby. He also did not pay the bill in full until the owners complained to the SARU.
