Durban - The potential loss of Pieter-Steph du Toit pending a diagnosis from the specialist is a huge blow to the Sharks’ fortunes, the union announced via their official website on Monday.
Du Toit, 22, had to leave the field in the 37th minute of the Super Rugby clash against the Cheetahs on Saturday, won 27-10 by the Sharks.
He will be seeing the specialist who operated on the same knee previously, in Cape Town on Monday. The hope is that it is not a re-rupture of his ACL and a confirmed diagnosis will only be made after seeing the specialist.
