Having had a neck injury myself that ended my playing days he has my total sympathy and support. I think at this time all true rugby fans of all nations will be wishing him well and a total recovery.

I know a team mate and close friend of Gareths, and so far he has gone through a lot in hospital, major operations and complications. He is still not awake but they did test his reflexes yesterday by pinching his toe and nose and they got a great reaction.

Hopefully this means good news, I am thinking positive thoughts for him every day..

From Neath RFC Website.

Gareth Jones the Neath Scrum Half sustained a serious neck injury in the Cardiff v Neath game on Sunday 20th April 2008.

Immediate medical treatment was given on the field involving both the Neath and Cardiff Rugby Club Medical Teams and Gareth was rapidly transferred to The University Hospital in Cardiff and received prompt expert treatment.

Scans revealed a significant injury to the neck and, unfortunately, in the early hours of Monday morning he developed complications which required emergency surgery.

His condition is currently stable but serious. He is under observation in the Intensive Care Unit at the University Hospital of Wales and further tests will be performed over the next 24 hours. Further surgery may be performed in the next 48 hours.

Gareth is receiving support from his family, officials of Neath Rugby and fellow squad members. The club is confident that he has received the best treatment available and fervently hopes that his recovery will proceed as quickly as possible.
