Sickening aerial tackle on Willie Le Roux

Sharks and Springbok utility back Willie Le Roux will be saying his prayers tonight, thankful that he escaped a serious career-threatening injury after being involved in a horror mid-air collision with Highlanders centre Jason Emery.

Emery was red-carded for the incident in the 13th minute of the Super Rugby match in Dunedin between the Highlanders and the Sharks. The Sharks won the low-scoring encounter 15-14.
