"Coming to the end of his injury" is a very odd phrase. If it means he is nearly fit and well why wouldn't they be putting a timescale on it?
It is indeed. Almost as though there is a word/phrase missing, like 'Coming to the end of his injury
insurance cover period.' Like they might have 12 months insurance to cover medical and wages.
He has a bad break. The medicos on the forums discussed this, and I recall that, under normal circumstances, he would have been back playing in 4-6 months. It seems that he is OK to walk on it, so it would follow that, under stress, the fracture must hurt. That is not normal. Maybe that suggests that the fracture has not healing, is not healing, or has micro fractures. Whatever, the prognosis cannot be good. He will have been scanned, prodded and probed by the best, but they have found nothing to explain it. Does sort of make you wonder about those rumours around Jaco Kriel.
The other thing that worries (if worry is the right word) is James Haskell. It is most unusual for a player, out of contract at the season's end, to publicly say that he wants to stay with a new contract, and yet no contract has been forthcoming. He also has no sponsor, although not all the squad do.
