Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha. Contrary to what you read here Whiteley will be out for 6 to 8 weeks.
.......
'Cape Town – The strong likelihood now that regular captain Warren Whiteley will miss the start of the Castle Rugby Championship means head coach Allister Coetzee has to earnestly re-evaluate the shape of his loose trio.
That should be the case for at least their two opening games of the competition, first home and then away to Argentina on August 19 and 26 respectively.
The revelation on Tuesday that Whiteley’s injury – a torn pelvic ligament – is a bit worse than initially expected, and could side-line him for up to two months, suggests he might only be able to reassume his national post against Australia for game three at Perth on September 9.
Stand-in skipper seems a fairly clear-cut issue, following the success of rugged lock Eben Etzebeth’s hastily-engineered elevation to the role in the third Test against France at Emirates Airline Park last Saturday.'
....
And Etzebeth will now be the captain. Hilarious! Game, set and match

The initial report on the local media and before the test last week all wrote that he would be out of rugby for three weeks, It was only after the specialist saw him that the 6 to 8 weeks absence became clear.

Exactly right, Ou Maaik . . . but good luck getting the doddering old fool to admit that he got egg all over his fat face!
At the time Moffie posted 3 months, the reports all said 3 weeks. It was only later when they discovered the ligament tear that it was changed from 3 weeks to "between six to eight weeks" . . . still not Moffie's 3 month premature ejaculation.
LMAO!

When an injury does not require an operation, the healing time may vary significantly. It could well be 5 weeks or 8 weeks, and possibly longer. This could be a niggly type of injury that takes ages to heal 100%
