Injuries?!

Diamondmaker

Hey any one here on the state of Denis, ROG, and Guy....
Poor Guy will be out for a while Im sure, freak occurance really. Hopefull whitaker should be good to go next week though.

Denis my not be too bad as he seemed to htink he could run it off.
Looked ridiculous out there trying to shake it off though, a liability for the few mins he was there.

I only heard about ROG going off injured , no more . How is he what happened?

Poor w/e for the 2 teams Leinster looked pathetic, no one seemed to have any aggression due to holding back for HC.

Munster the same? Terrible loss at home...is that a record for them gone now?

Worrying times for Munster certainly, again though I didnt see the game, spoke to a few who did and apparently munster were very, very lacklustre, play uncharacteristically littered with basic bread and butter errors, the sort of stuff that you can take usually for granted with Munster....No spark and well beaten...doesn't bode well for Leicester, unless, and here's the charitable view, they're keeping their powder dry for the big one....

With Leinster you could tell they just did not want to mess their hair or get dirty for next week.

Hope for Munsters sake ROG is not serious. Notoriously weak without him.

What happened the various players? Only saw the second half of the Leinster match and none of the Munster match

That's summed up the match pretty well. Missing POC & ROG certainly didn't help the cause. There were some nice moves like at the start of the 1st half or a great rolling maul in the 2nd half (after Hayes came on) to be ruined by sloppy handling/play. There was a good crowd there - ground looked 3/4 full at least - but a poor atmosphere which reflected the match.

Hopefully Munster can lift their game by next week.

Easterby might be in trouble.. I've heard rumour of a broken jaw, but haven't read anything concrete yet. RoG and Hickey both seemed to think they could run the injury out of 'em, so hopefully both will be ok next week.

Hickey did look in agony as he limped around though, but he was in the action when it came to him, so I don't think he was much of a liability. He obviously thought he could run it out, but then decided otherwise as the reivers put the pressure on, when play restarted.

Guy suffered what was reported as a broken jaw at the time while attempting to tackle a Borders player, an accidental flailing elbow caught him square on his jaw.

Denis heroically slid in on top of loose ball just under the post, as he got to the ball a reveirs back also slid and knee seemed to make contact with denis uppr thigh/hip area.
He looked in pain.
