Yoh, it looks like someone could give Heath Ledger’s Joker a run for his money.
24-year-old Durbanite Nicholas Schonert, prop for the Worcester Warriors in England, was scrumming down against Saracens at Twickenham when he suffered a nasty facial injury. Schonert was hit by a stray boot from Maro Itoje and the damage done was rather severe.
Luckily it looks like the op went well and Nicholas tweeted this the following day:
Here’s to a speedy recovery mate, good to see that gash all sown up.
