Please, be ok.

badassmofo · 20th April 2007, 21:44

Was about to make this thread.
Never good to see that happen, twice in 2 weeks at Jade I think.
Hope JC is ok.

chiQ · 20th April 2007, 21:47

Commentary just gave a relatively comfortable account of him, but it's scary when you see players unmoving for so long.

wugambino · 20th April 2007, 21:48

that is the first time in my life I have actually been genuinely upset seeing a player injured

They just said he had heard a funny noise and it was mostly precautionary , but still he dident look comfortable and there isent many harder chaps around.

leadinjector · 20th April 2007, 21:59

Yeah I hope it was just him erring on the side of caution and he isn't badly hurt. much love for JC

chiQ · 20th April 2007, 22:21

It sounds like they're doing scans to be sure, and he's got some numbness in a shoulder, but things are looking up.

Kryten · 20th April 2007, 22:29

Yeah, looking up. I was surprised at how upset I was seeing him motionless for so long.

Motionless, apart from his foot twitching

Kryten · 21st April 2007, 09:20

Uh, sure - if you want to count an involuntary muscle spasm as "everything is a-ok", then I guess I'm glad you're not part of any on field medical staff.

chiQ · 21st April 2007, 10:06

Yeah, the foot twitching wasn't encouraging. Neither was the apparent pain he felt when they rolled him. Is there any further news about him? I haven't found anything new.

wugambino · 21st April 2007, 10:27

last I heard he had some numbness in his shoulder , but there is nothing in the paper today.

Kryten · 21st April 2007, 11:07

Rugby: Collins has movement after neck injury

Looking very positive.

Simon · 21st April 2007, 11:36

Is there a "conditioned" All Black who HASN'T been injured?

Spoon1 · 23rd April 2007, 01:56

Weepu?

Quite. A friend of mine was paralysed in a scrum accident a few years ago - he was watching this game and turned white as a sheet when he saw the foot twitch. He had the same twitch and it didn't turn out rosy for him.

mr selfdestruct · 23rd April 2007, 10:23

Yeah, Weepu is the only one that's played every game since the re-conditioned all blacks have been back and hasn't been injured. Ali and Joe haven't been injured but they've hardly played at all so they don't really count. Weepu the hard man :P

Juju · 23rd April 2007, 13:26

Lets not jinx him now

And with the whole motionless thing, would that not have been from the staff telling him not to move, just in case, than actually not being able to physically move?

Simon · 23rd April 2007, 13:30

Yeah. The first thing you're taught during rugby safety courses is "neck or back? don't move."

BWDOWN · 23rd April 2007, 13:44

This will put the cat amongst it, buts hes been playing very average lately anyways

For the three week's of gametime he's had this year, you mean?

Anyway, POTD from SMH:
