🚨 Shocking Incident in Super Rugby 🚨
In a nail-biting Super Rugby Pacific qualifying final, All Blacks star Wallace Sititi was rushed to hospital following a horrifying on-field incident. During the Chiefs’ 46-24 victory over the Queensland Reds, Sititi suffered a serious head injury after a clash with Reds forward Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, which left him shaking on the pitch.
The match was halted as medical staff attended to the 23-year-old, who appeared confused but managed to get back on his feet before being escorted to the hospital. Despite Salakaia-Loto being given a yellow card for the collision, the match continued with the Chiefs securing a win that will see them face the Crusaders next in Hamilton.
Chiefs captain Luke Jacobson shared his concern saying, “Never nice seeing your teammate like that,” emphasising that the team’s thoughts are with Sititi and his family. Coach Jono Gibbes expressed pride in his players’ resilience but admitted the victory was bittersweet given the incident.
A tough day at the office but the Chiefs are through to the semis! Our thoughts are with Wallace Sititi – wishing him a speedy recovery. 💪🖤
