Cape Town - Springbok Sevens utility player Steven Hunt underwent surgery to his left foot on Monday in Cape Town after suffering a fracture at training last week and will be out of action for at least six weeks.
The injury will rule him out of the next two rounds of the HSBC Sevens World Series tournaments in the Far East.
Meanwhile, Justin Geduld has recovered from the hamstring strain he picked up in Wellington, meaning that apart from Hunt, Blitzboks coach Neil Powell has a fit squad to choose from for the Far East tournaments.
