    whilst it is never good for any player to have hip Surgery esp when they are only 25! this forced break for SOB will be good for him allows him to have a proper break.

    Shame that Ruddock is out too as it would have givin him a chance to impress at 6/8, but assuming that Dom Ryan is fit, he should get plenty of gametime to impress and maybe one the academy lads like Gilsenan/J Murphy/Jordan Coghlan to get some gametime in the Rabo

    I don't know what exactly SOB had fixed but I would imagine it was an acetabular labral tear. This is the ring of fibrous cartilage that holds the head of the femur in place. It can become pinched, inflamed and then tear free. This injury is becoming far more common than in previous years. It was so rare even 10 years ago that academic texts rarely referred to it at all. Guys are getting bigger and stronger but cartilage, ligaments and tendons aren't.

    Do you know what happened to Leamy Jaco?

    I don't remember anything more than a hip problem being said but it is/was a strange one I thought the way it came about.

    No, nor to young Pollock who also retired because of a hip problem. In Leamy's case it may simply have been a case of too much degeneration leading to osteoarthritis. In Pollock's case it may have been due to damage to the epiphyseal growth plates caused by physical trauma at his relatively young age.

    I know we all knew about it, but it's great to note that we had someone like Shane representing rugby by carrying the flame.

    Off topic but why does our thread get an exclamation mark and no else does?

    Is it a warning that we've won the HC three times :D

    Hip injury, I can see him playing through the pain barrier.

    Probably is a bit dodge though, like we're trying to get away from being a pretentious posh sport, and we're playing One Day Cricket internationals....

    Maybe Cricket is trying to get away from their image and decided to put on a game against Leinster....

    So, cricket folk think rugby folk are... common?

    :eek:

    We're through the looking glass here people.

    I'll pick that up in about 3 years down the local charity shop for a fiver.

    Those DVDs are generally too expensive for what you get.

    If the DVD is anything like the previous versions it's not going to great or even worth it at all to be honest. Even the blurb for it says that only the Final is in full so what you'll prob end up getting is very brief highlights (could be just the tries) from the other games.

    Minus the best part of the moves for each try. Expect to see just Luke's pass to BOD for the try against Cardiff for example.

    Apparently there's another DVD made by Leinster coming out in the next few months, which is not a HEC roundup type thing. Don't have any other info on it.

    Mr. DC is being quite aloof about the whole thing.

    I just don't understand it.

    How difficult could it be to just include a couple of other DVD's with every game (or at least QF, SF and Final). It would require no editing / production. It would turn this DVD into a "must have" for every leinster support.

    Instead, every year, they through out this crap which gives you about 5 minutes of viewing plus the final.

    When Ireland did the grand slam the DVD had each game in full. (I never got bored of watching that France game).
