[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1148936, member: 73592"] Better news than the jaw - now it depends on the nuance of the fracture, but I expect to see him on the pitch again for the QF. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1695374372015.jpeg"]17847[/ATTACH] [B]ETA:[/B] Yes, you can play sooner (than 3 weeks), but would be against (UK) medical advice. We've seen players play through with these fractures, not just finishing the match, but turning out again the following week. But rugby insurance is stricter in France (see a couple of players who've been unable to get insurance to play, in France, but have in the UK) - which is well beyond myu capacity to comment on. Medical advice would be 21 days; France have 24 days before the QF, and don't need him before then, so I wouldn't risk it. I'd argue that you don't need him against Eng/Arg/Wal/Aus/Fij either, so give him a better chance for the final - but that's very much personal opinion (3 weeks okay, 5 weeks much better) [B]ETA2:[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12572/11307635/saracens-brad-barritt-hopes-to-face-leinster-despite-fractured-cheek[/URL] [/QUOTE]
