Video uploaded to social media by dual-International Wendell Sailor - who was watching son Tristan play against Newtown at Henson Park - showed Pereira producing an acrobatic finish to score a try before being bumped in mid-air, landing awkwardly.

He was stretchered from the field in a neck brace and taken to hospital for scans. Initial reports suggest he suffered a concussion but further scans will be required to ascertain the full extent of any other injuries.

The club updated fans via twitter on Saturday evening saying: "Jordan Pereira remains in hospital and is awaiting follow up scans. We'll update #redv members and fans when all relevant information is available."
