PUBLISHED: September 1, 2014


After experiencing a severe neck injury against the Blue Bulls, DHL Western Province Under-21 lock JD Schickerling underwent successful surgery on Saturday night to decompress his spinal cord.

He will undergo a second operation soon to fuse the vertebrae and stabilise the neck.

As reported on Sunday, Schickerling is expected to make a full recovery in due course and WP Rugby will continue to support the player and his family during his recovery.

Western Province Rugby would also like to thank the entire rugby community for their well wishes thus far.
