Springbok and Stormers star Steven Kitshoff is recovering from a delicate neck operation

The popular Springbok prop has been out of action since early September after sustaining the injury playing for Western Province in a Currie Cup game after just returning from a serious knee injury.

Recently, when speaking on the popular Boks Office show, Kitshoff described how the injury occurred and just why it was such a ‘scary’ situation.

“It’s a bit of a stressful one because it’s such a high area of my neck – C1 and C2 – which is a bit of an issue,” he said. “It was quite a fright. It happened in the weirdest way. Just a normal scrum, and everyday type of thing, and then I just felt something snap at the back.

“Mine was just a normal scrum. The scrum didn’t even collapse. In the process of the scrum, I just felt something go.”
