# Rugby: All Blacks hooker George Bell’s tour of South Africa was cut short before it even began. He is on his way back to New Zealand after suffering injury during training in Cape Town this week. Bradley Slater had been called up as substitute and will join the squad tomorrow. Stand-in captain Codie Taylor is reportedly also struggling with a calf injury and is in a race against time to be fit for Friday night’s tour opener against the Stormers at the Cape Town Stadium.
