Early in the game on Friday - after making two excellent attacking plays - Jordaan was late tackled and was carried off the field. It is reported now that he would be undergoing an operation and is likely to be out of rugby for six months.
Stokkies Hanekom made waves for the Lions this year and was by some distance the best center in the CC competition. He is also out for at least three months with a broken leg.
The Sharks and Lions needed those two players - they were the key to their backline performances - and their loss will be felt badly by both teams.
