ACT Brumbies flyhalf Noah Lolesio is breathin’ easy again after an extreme on-field scare. The star of the tournament for Australia has avoided long-term injury after scans revealed he’s only strained a hip flexor. The 23-year-old athlete took a sickening fall in the Brumbies’ hard-fought Super Rugby Pacific win against the Force in Perth on Saturday night. He left the field on a stretcher with a neck brace. In the end it was the Brumbies celebrating a convincing 33-14 victory with their fans. Lolesio’s health was a worrisome issue before, during and after this match.
The incident caused great concern to everyone present including fans and Lolesio’s teammates as he received emergency medical treatment. After being transferred to the Royal Perth Hospital for a secondary evaluation, he had medical imaging done. Thankfully, the outcome corroborated Felix’s relief — he had no major injuries.
