thanks and sorry to hear about that. luckily it was somewhat bad as it affected my daily routines and i am into rugby and gym a lot that i just had to get it checked on continuously. it is indeed a proximal pole fracture of the scaphoid for me which is about 5-6 months old so im having an operation for a wire/screw in it. hopefully i will be back within 2 months to play the very last game and to continue my work outs! best of luck for you! they should make scaphoid injuries more known in rugby as we tend to ignore any niggles or pain and let it get worse as time progresses!
