Six South African rugby players drown after being swept to sea by freak currents while swimming after training

Six rugby players have drowned after being swept out to sea by freak currents in South Africa.

One body has been found and five others are presumed drowned after players from Motherwell Rugby Club were caught up in strong rip tides on Port Elizabeth's Bluewater Bay beach on Sunday.

Officials said the players had gone for a swim in the water to cool off after a training session when powerful currents took hold.
