Disappointed Dunning eyes Reds
Posted Tue, 06 May 2008

Seasoned Waratahs prop Matt Dunning, who on Monday was officially ruled out of Saturday's crucial Super 14 showdown with the Stormers in Cape Town because of a calf strain, said he was aiming for a "speedy" return.

Dunning suffered the injury in the Waratahs' 13-16 loss against the Bulls in Pretoria last weekend.

"A scan confirmed I've got a strained calf," Dunning said in Cape Town, adding: "Although I'll miss this weekend [against the Stormers] I'm hoping to be available for the following week against the Reds.

"It's really disappointing to miss this match. It's such a big game both teams have been going well and there is a lot at stake."

Dunning will remain on tour to receive treatment by the Waratahs medical staff.

"It's only a minor strain, but it affects props more than other players - which means doing plenty of rehab work over the next week or so to be right for the Reds encounter."

The Waratahs line-up will be announced Thursday afternoon, South African time.
