LITTLE INJURED

NEW South Wales centre Jason Little may be on the bench for up to eight weeks after fracturing his collar bone during the 13-13 draw with South Africa’s Coastal Sharks on Saturday. Little was injured when he was tackled heavily in the final few minutes of the Super 12 match in Durban. “He will be in a collar support for two weeks at least and we will reassess the injury with further x-rays after that,” team doctor Joe Casamento said. Little told The Australian newspaper he feared he could be sidelined for up to eight weeks.
