Sale Sharks and South Africa lock Lood de Jager has said that this third shoulder operation in under two years “went well”.

The World Cup winner injured his shoulder in a win over Leicester Tigers in September, and it was later revealed by Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond that he had bent the metal pins that were in place from a prior operation.

It was initially unclear whether he would require surgery, but he now faces months out as he recovers. He shared with his followers on Instagram a photo of his left shoulder in a sling, which has become an all too familiar image of his.
