[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 5: France vs. England (19/03/2016)

[TheOvalBall]

France have wasted so much ball in this match. Crazy.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lol at the scrum

Ouch

 

[TheOvalBall]

Damn. That's nasty.

 

[Tony Manx]

That is bad........

 

[ncurd]

WTF was that French 6 thinking there? Utter stupidity on pure safety grounds.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hartley's a goner, what's happened there?

Hope LCD has gotten over his crap lineouts last weekend (and through most of his career....)

WTF was that French 6 thinking there? Utter stupidity on pure safety grounds.

Aye.
He had good intentions (gumshield? recovery position?) but dragging an unconscious player by their shoulder is not the way to do it.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Fick that looked bad

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Knee to the back of the head.

 

[ncurd]

God I hope that did no further damage.

I think players need to be made aware of what actions they should take in case of a KO - put them into recovery position or leave them.

Perfect example of why tackling lower isn't always safer.

 

[TheOvalBall]

That's one huge improvement in the game. The medical aspect. Prompt response to any serious injury.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Binny's terminator eye!

Just leave them there are trained pros merely meters away. I'd can't get over how stupid that is.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I know - I'm saying that if there is an official line (which I'm sure is to leave them) then players need to be made aware of it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Binny's terminator eye!

Come with me if you want to score.

 

[kesh]

great crowd

 

[ncurd]

Owens laying down the law wish he said it earlier.

 

[amz]

Hartley's situation looks bad, hopefully he'll be OK.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Did he even come round before they carried him off? :/

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How come we've not brought Brookes on?
Fresh legs n that
