New Zealand sent a signed All Blacks jersey to Namibia centre Le Roux Malan after he suffered a severe Ankle injury in their Rugby World Cup game. Malan broke and dislocated his right ankle while trying to tackle New Zealand's Beauden Barrett. He had successful surgery and will recover for three to four days before returning home. The gesture by the All Blacks was praised by Namibia coach Allister Coetzee, who said it showed the sportsmanship and values of rugby. Malan's injury led to an extended break in play and he received applause from the crowd and players.
