Butch James: 'I want to be at one with nature for five OK...'Butch James should be counting his lucky stars that no one has come forward and arrested his Springbok number ten jersey.
James has plenty to gain, but even more to lose against a depleted Argentina outfit.
Fatigue is understandable, but in the professional environment, it is no excuse.
His poor run of form might not be worrying Pieter de Villiers, but Francois Steyn and Ruan Pienaar have their supporters by the truck-load and another sticky showing in what is effectively a nothing-match could see James regurgitating talk of international retirement.
