England prospect Jack Kenningham to miss rest of season
Harlequins flanker Jack Kenningham will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.
Kenningham injured his neck in the Gallagher Premiership with Exeter at the weekend.
A statement from Quins reveals: “Quins can confirm that Kenningham underwent successful surgery earlier this week following a neck injury sustained during last weekend’s Gallagher Premiership victory over Exeter Chiefs.
“The Club will continue to support Kenningham in his rehabilitation as he looks to return to the field, currently set for a six-month rehabilitation period.”
Senior Coach Tabai Matson said: “It’s a real shame to see Jack set for a spell on the sidelines. He’s a fantastic young player who has a great future in the sport.
“We have a fantastic medical team here at Quins who will ensure Jack is well looked after. He’s a tough, determined individual and I know he’ll come back from this set-back and hit the ground running.”

Have people seriously run out of thinks to be outraged about?! I
Go to commentsFully agree but would go further. The RFU Council needs a fundamental overhaul. The incompetence on display over recent years is staggering. One simple question I have is who is in charge of PR and Media Relations? These people are allowing the sport to be led by the nose by those who hate the fact rugby is a physical (and therefore has an associated risk). This constant handwringing about the risks of the game mean the main takeaway for potential future players is almost entirely negative. They even thought announcing a fundamental and surprise law change with the obvious ramifications JUST BEFORE THE 6 NATIONS was a good idea!!!
