Hearing Rory Best has done something bad to his collar bone - first up, I'm gutted for him. He was playing the rugby of his life.

Second up...ah feck.

Step forward Jerry Flannery....

....oh wait!

mjp · 02-10-2011, 10:54

hope injury isnt as serious as feared as he has been playing some serious stuff and his experience in the big games is huge.
Would worry most about cronins throwing as seems to struggle to find his men in the lineout when needed mostly. In the loose he offers us more as probably one of the quickest front row forward at the world cup

Reloc8 · 02-10-2011, 10:56

No doubting Cronin's pace and football ability (his hands are a work in progress).

But losing Best at this point would be a disaster.

It's a massive blow to our chances, Wales have a fantastic line out and will put all sorts of pressure on Cronin. Can't believe rte didn't pick up on this as I stated in match thread.

thomond2006 · 02-10-2011, 10:57

Oh no.

cronin_j · 02-10-2011, 10:57

Oh no.. hope the guy will be ok..

Looking at Verley and Cronin so from here on in are we?

Tweedo · 02-10-2011, 10:57

This could really hurt us what without Flannery as well, Cronin's throwing just isn't good enough. I'm worried

freyners · 02-10-2011, 10:58

while cronins throwing is not as good as bests i do think people are over hyping it as well. The man is well able to throw and his speed and work in the loose offers another option alongside ferris obrien heaslip and healy

No doubt everyone is hoping best isn't seriously injured and will hopefully be starting V wales but I have enough confidence in Cronin to believe it wont be as serious a dent as people are making out

ekevosu · 02-10-2011, 10:58

Planet rugby say that he was taken straight to hospital. Not looking good unfortunately. He really is playing great rugby.

Reloc8 · 02-10-2011, 10:58

Munster people - in this scenario, i.e. priority is the set piece - would ye be picking Varley or Cronin ?

I agree... Best was playing out of his skin, but Cronins throwing has come on i think..

Best is the glue between Healy and Ross, it's a far bigger dent to our chances than you realise. Absolutely gutted just as the momentum was building. Cronin is not strong enough at this level.

Are we looking at Sherry getting called out?

Hopefully it's just a precautionary x ray
