Rugby League game stopped as player collapses after injury

Rugby League game stopped as player collapses after injury highlights the abrupt halt to the Magic Weekend contest between St Helens and Wigan Warriors when Nathan Lowe appeared to lose consciousness. The young winger, in just his second Super League appearance, suffered what looked like a serious leg injury shortly before half-time at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Medical staff assisted him, but while he was being guided along the touchline, Lowe appeared to faint again and had to be laid down near the sideline. Referee Chris Kendall stopped play, delaying the final moments of the first half as Lowe was stretchered off. Wigan later posted on X that Lowe was stretchered after treatment, while Sky Sports said the incident involved a drop in blood pressure. Earlier, Daryl Clark and Ethan Havard were withdrawn for head injury assessments. St Helens led 6-8 at the time.
