Stoopid freak Injuries

RuggieBear

Just watched the Leinster match. Bernard Jackman managed to roll his ankle while running back onto the pitch for the second half....he had to be subbed before the game was restarted.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: He was having a stormer too.

Got me thinking.....can anyone else remember freak injuries like this either witnessed experienced, or heard of them.

I knoew eric miller has been hurt during the warm up at least once and possibly twice for leinster.:rolleyes:

I once played in a game which required 2 ambulances to be called. The first for a broken leg and the second for a broken cheek....

now the funny thiong about the cheek injury was that it was caused by the oppstion scrumhalve taking a swing at our scrumhalf at the base of a scrum....missing and nailing his own flanker:D sickening injury tbh but inflicted by a team mate

David Wallace last year in the CL re-injured himself in the match warm up after bein out for a few weeks. Playing Gwent i think it was in November in Musser - he was pissed i heard.

My brothers team won the setion b leinster junior cup last year and before the final their number eight managed to send their starting scrum half to the hospital with a broken cheekbone and concussion.:D

Why? The game was in Glasgow.

One of the few times we managed to get a proper referee for a game something snapped in the ref's knee (While he was chasing me up the pitch *dusts nails on shirt*) The game had to be abandoned and an ambulance called.

Not particularly interesting, but funny ...

While I'm sure he appreciated you dusting your nails on his shirt....did you help him off the field?

Amz

Of course I did, I'm lovely!

Ah there wasn't a whole lot I could do, but run for first aid kits and run to make the call for the ambo. There were 2 nurses on my team so the looked after him.

I met him at a match my friend was playing in and he was alright. There was no permanent damage.

lol

I hate serious injuries. When i was playing in england i was invloved in about 5 games (outa 20) that needed ambulances. Scary stuff. mainly broken bones and serious cuts.

Amz

Yeah, that was the most serious incident I've seen. There's usually just the odd ankle sprain, or muscle pull.

Some of the "injuries" I've seen have been a bit dubious though, usually when we were being hammered people become more accident prone, or something

lol...tbh, i'd be a bit like that. I liked to be subbed if we were winning comfortably as had mates on the subs bench

Amz

A subs bench wasn't a luxery we had in DCU.

i know a good few ppl who pulled muscles in their legs while running onto the pitch to start a match.

one training session, three injuries, two ambulances
it was like carry-on rugby but really freaky at the same time
broken nose, knee socket pop and fractured fibula, and all were backs!

Meh, there's always imjuries now and then. The senior pitch in my school has a hil at the end to facilitate ambulances driving onto it. Last year our outhalf collapsed with the last kick of the game with an asthma attack, he took a placekick and fell straight to the ground in convulsions. Scary stuff.

Then a few weeks ago a bone-jarring (literally) collision between two backs caused them both to get knocked out and have to go to hospital. They were running full speed at each other, and whatever way it ended up neither bent down to tackle and they smacked heads off each other. The guy on my team had to get stitches on his jaw and just fell unconscious right there after the tackle. They both had to get CAT scans but they were fine
