Springboks star Damian de Allende has shed light on what happened in a fire pit accident that has put his first test against the British and Irish Lions next month in doubt.
The veteran back and fellow 2019 World Cup winner RG Snyman were celebrating their Springboks selection
with Munster teammates CJ Stander and Mike Haley when an unidentified player threw petrol on a fire pit causing widespread burns to the South African duo.
Stander and Haley, who are Irish internationals, suffered lesser injuries.
They were all rushed to hospital and while the initial burns looked very bad, the players are not expected to be sidelined for too long.
De Allende told Supersport that the outcome could have "been a lot worse".
