    Hello there,

    I've been told Denis Hickey broke his leg during training yesterday and got an operation in St-Vincent's hospital...

    Any of you heard anything about that? Found nothing on the web...

    Poor Denis... He hasn't played his best rugby lately but I still think it is a big blow for Leinster and Ireland at the eve of the H-Cup and the Autumn Internationals... :(

    I wish him a speedy recovery :o

    Could have been worse i suppose...
    But Hickie struggles with his form so much because he always picks up at least one semi-serious injury a season...It's a shame, and he's never really got back to where he was about 3 years ago. :(

    Weaker.
    badoom tschh!

    With no Hickey, and no Warner,
    Contepomi will have to go to 10
    Kearney will start instead of Hickie
    D'Arcy in the centre - partnered by Horgan??
    Norton on the other wing??

    or possibly lewis in the centre and horgan on the wing.

    I can relate to Denis, fractured my fibula in training last week, stuck at home, bored and oh it's my first post

    And what a way to start your boards.ie life! :p

    Hickey didn't "fracture" his fibula though, he (only) dislocated it. Poor you Misumi... As I did for Denis Hickey, I also wish you a speedy recovery! :)

    I'm lucky I never (really) got injured in rugby! Got a skull fracture and got knocked out during 2 different games last year but otherwise nothing! I'd really hate to brake a bone... :(

    It wasn't that bad! Just a crack on the front of the cranium. Didn't actually know I had it until I got X-Rays and a scan (1 month after it happened...) after getting knocked out. So I actually played 3 rugby games with a fractured skull!
    Lucky I didn't get another big knock on the same spot! :eek:

    Kearney was class against bath, reminds me a bit of Hickie..

    What's the story with his inury?

    I got a concussion before in rugby which is a sick feeling...physically sick, disorientated..horrible.

    Also pulled ligaments in my knees 4 times and can't play because of it anymore :mad: tour crutiat and median ligaments beofre ... Possibly the most painfull sports injury possible i'm reliably informed, and i'd believe it.

    Felt like sh!t for 2 days after I got knocked out... It's just horrible. The worse is when you start understanding what's going on but you still can't remember where you are or what's happening. Scary feeling!
    Apparently I was happily chatting with my mate for 30 minutes on the side line (can't remember myself...) and every 20 seconds I was asking "Where are we?". Made him laugh... Scared the sh!t out of me when I came to though! Didn't know what the hell was happening! :eek:

    Now this is something I'm really, REALLY, praying I never have trouble with! Hard luck DubGuy :(

    One of the main reasons i don't really play rugby any more is that i've been knocked out about 7-8 times. That and the fact my shoulders have a chronic dislocation issue which means i can't prop.

    Jesus RuggieBear! :eek: You have to tackle the players with your arms! Not your head! :p
    Happened to me once. Hope it never happens again...

    And if you want to stop propping do like me: Lipotrim for 3-4 weeks the move to back-row! I'm so happy at number 8 now! :D:D:D

    Wait a sec......how do you dislocate your fibula? Think of the bone, there's no movement around it so I don't know what he did to dislocate it twice. My dad broke his twice playing football, and he couldn't understand how someone could dislocate it

    that's a pity, Denis is a brilliant player, and to get another setback like this isn't good news at all. Hopefully he wont be out for too Long as I'd imagine a dislocation isn't as bad as a break.
