This looks potentially very serious. Prayers for him and his family.

Cyril,
Looking at the brief report on the link I would guess that's what it is, as you said hope he's ok.

Blimey, hope he's alright!
Any info on the injury? Was it just a case of it being a precautionary hospital trip perhaps?

They're keeping very quiet about it at the Blues, hopefully he'll be alright.

Re: Owen Williams
Personally, I believe it is better for nothing to be released to the public until the evals and initial treatment is complete. This ensures that only the most accurate information and nothing misleading is made public. Hoping for the best, of course, but if a neck injury, then it's better to stay quiet until the full prognosis is known. Singapore has excellent medical services, and I am sure he has the best of care.

Wouldn't be surprised if he never plays again, that looked nasty. Also, what is with that pitch? All that sand.

Really awful injury. I hope he makes a full and swift recovery. Unfortunately it looks like it's just a freak accident. Any updates out of the Wales camp?

Fingers crossed its not too serious and he'll be back on his feet some day.
There was another serious incident a few months back. Australian rugby league player got his neck broken.

Re: Owen Williams
fellas that won't watch it you really should, rugby is a very dangerous game and we should all be aware elf th potential for serious and even life changing injury,, puts the refs decisions that we all second guess in perspective and also, in this case, i felt i owed it to this kid to watch.
Glad everyone is thinking of him and i will ask the MODS to send a message from 606v2 wishing him a speedy recovery

As a nation that has seen serious neck injuries happen to Tom Evans and Joe Ansbro, Scottish rugby fans can fully sympathise - here's hoping it is not as serious as it looks.

Well i would happily light a candle for a young kid who may or may not have a life changing neck injury, as i think most on here would. But you do whatever suits your personality Breadvan.

Re: Owen Williams
Don't like to speculate at all and I really do wish Owen all the best and a speedy recovery, but from what i've heard from people who know family members its horrendous news. Like I said, I hope its not true what i've heard and I truly hope, regardless of whether he ever plays rugby again, he gets through the rehab successfully.

Re: Owen Williams
I only just saw this news on the DT website, then checked 606 for an article on it.
My very best wishes to Owen for a full recovery and a continuation of his playing career. By all accounts another cracking prospect in the game.
I'm sure I've seen him play for Wales 7s.

A statement has confirmed Williams has undergone surgery after suffering a 'significant injury to his cervical vertebrae and spinal cord'

Wish the best for him and that the result of the post-surgery is a lot better than the pre-surgery news seems to be suggesting.

Best wishes to Owen and I hope he makes a full recovery. However, although I don't want to see the video and I'm not looking for too much details but could someone explain how it happened. Did they not see each other coming, was it a ruck etc?

Just the way he fell... positioning of head and body and ground.

I have a concern over player safety and some of the new artificial pitches which are starting to be used.
