Currie Cup leaders the Sharks have been handed further encouragement with the news that Louis Ludik is set to make a full recovery from injury.
The back, who was stretchered from the action against Western Province on Saturday, was seen signing autographs and look okay after the game.
"In Louis case, he took a knock to the head and was stretchered off as a precaution," explains Sharks Physiotherapist Deane Macquet, speaking to the Sharks' website.
"Often when someone takes a knock to the head, the neck is involved as well, so you have to assume because a patient is not completely coherent that there was a neck injury as well. It is a matter of being ultra-cautious in this situation - often it looks much worse than it actually is.
"Everything that people saw on the field was simply normal protocol. It does look quite dramatic and we have to take every precaution - but he is looking good. He was walking around after the game."
Ludik recounted the moment that his game against Province was cut short.
"When I got the hit, I was out of it and couldn't remember everything, although my eyes were open at the time," he explained, admitting that he had a headache.

I hope common sense prevails and he is "grounded" for a week or three to fully recover!
