The 32-year-old Australian was hurt in a tackle during Dragons' 26-7 loss and Stcherbina has now been joined by his partner Tazmin at Toulouse's Purpan Hospital.

Dragons chief executive Gethin Jenkins said: "Marc has had an operation to stabilise his neck following damage to a disc and a crack in a bone. The operation has gone well, and he has movement in his arms and legs."

He added: "He will now undergo further tests before a decision will be taken on when he will be returned home to Wales.

"Dragons staff will remain with him, along with his partner, Tazmin, who flew out to Toulouse on Sunday.

"Our main priority is his long term well-being, and we are grateful to the hospital staff, along with those at the Toulouse club, for their professionalism and support.

"Marc is in good spirits, and we hope to have him back in Wales as soon as possible.

"No further statements will be issued until the results of the on-going tests are known."

Stcherbina has previously played for Northampton and Cardiff Blues.
