Yet another nasty leg injury on a plastic pitch ( to Singleton the Glaws hooker). .. bad enough for them not to show it again but I suspect the pitch not giving is a contributing factor.
Given all the laws that they are bringing in to prevent head injury, you would have thought some sort of study should be done on plastic pitches and the effects on leg injuries?!
Recent game at Sarries 4 props went down with either knee or lower leg injuries so the question needs asking.

Another question how is Rapava Ruskin not Genge back up with England

Rapava-Ruskin having a stormer and should definitely be involved with England based on his form for the last 12 months ….. and continuing to improve

Agree he is a very good loose head .. but Eddie is obsessed by Maku who was never a great scrummager but is now not that great in the loose either.

Re the plastic pitch business I suspect nothing will be done until a few players with Career ending injuries start sueing their employers
For failing in their duty of care to them. That’s when the cost of a pitch replacement becomes cheaper that the compensation claims!

Look who's in second place in the Top14. Stade Français!

Not only did they beat La Rochelle, but with a bonus point too, 27-14.
Vincent Koch, Springbok and former Saracens' prop, made his début from the bench.

I'll post a full Top14 update on the French rugby thread tomorrow.
