Today at 05:08 AM
Veteran Springbok and Sharks prop Trevor Nyakane provides clarity on his recent ankle injury and surgery.
The two-time World Cup winner has confirmed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon in the Sharks' win over the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria almost two weeks ago.
Nyakane underwent surgery last week, and the 34-year-old took to social media to shed light on his condition.

"Last week Saturday I ruptured my Achilles tendon [which was] very painful," he wrote on Instagram on Saturday. "I just went under the knife, surgery was very successful. [The] doctors were very positive afterwards — now it's the road to recovery and staying positive on this journey."
He was visited in hospital by teammates Bongi Mbonambi, Ox Nche and Fez Mbatha. "A very special thanks to my brothers who came to visit me, brought me food, supplies, took care of me, and as always [provided] good laughs, which is needed in times like these," Nyakane added.
The Sharks return to Vodacom URC action against the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday.
