Dixons injury proves to not only be a huge blow to the Havelock SC but also to his rugby career, as he underwent a surgery which will keep him off the rugby field for a minimum of three months. With Dixons absence in the future, Havelock SC will have to start with Ramesh Fernando and Chamara Dabare to fill in Dixons place.
ThePapare.com wishes Dixon a speedy recovery and expects to see him back in the playing field soon.
