I saw Ben Robinson get injuried

[Bread and the crumbs]

Nice sunny day and all was well with the world. The Wallabies were engaged in light contact and Robinson was taking the ball up and he just just stumbled and that was it. He was not tackled and besides his feet, the rest of his body did not come into contact with the ground He limped around and then started to try and run it off for a few minutes. He then went off and applied the ice as far as we could see. Nobody looked too worried at the time. I am sure Robinson, like any rugby player has taken the ball up a thousand times with little or no problem so this was either freakish or he was carrying a knee injury which was just pushed too far.

Interesting thought - you wonder after the treatment of TPN last year and this year whether there was some pre-existing injury. What did he injure v Bulls and amazingly come back from a week later??? Was it his knee, the same knee???

You've got to feel sorry for the bloke- Australia's first choice prop since 2008, and then tearing his ACL just before the Rugby World Cup. Especially in a virtually non-contact training exercise.
