Rugby: Doubt over Hooker’s fitness after controversial injury against Ospreys

# Rugby: Springbok back player Ethan Hooker’s immediate future is in doubt after he was injured during a controversial incident in the Sharks’ United Rugby Championship match against Ospreys in Wales. Luke Morgan dived on Hooker after he scored a try at the end of the first half and the Sharks player didn’t return after half-time, while Morgan wasn’t penalised. Sharks coach JP Pietersen confirmed Hooker dislocated his shoulder, saying his absence was very disappointing and frustrating. Ospreys won 21-17.
