Updated reports are saying cheekbone which if true is tournament over.

Article that said "cheekbone" now says "jaw" (but is otherwise unchanged) so it's one of those developing story situations.

I'll be gutted for France and the tournament more generally if he's gone.

Wild to be risking your top tier players against a team like Namibia. They won't be headhunting but those fellas would make sure each tackle would stick.

It's catch 22 because if he didn't play he would have been a month without playing

This world cup is so bloody long

Ireland's ability to consistently field a full strength team is impressive

Maxilla (cheekbone) = upper jaw.
Mandible (jawbone) = lower jaw.
Its all jaws.
Looked like a maxillary fracture most likely. Not a great injury.

I think it's got a lot to do with the draw, Ireland did not need to field full strength during the warm up games. They have used the first two games as there warm up games, meant the fringe squad got more time before the world cup and now have been working towards this week. Also helps that they have the week off in between the SA and Scotland games.

Yeah, but also in general their players don't seem to get injured as much

Wallaby players sneeze and they are out for a month

That bench is a thing of beauty!

It is highly amusing that for seemingly the first time in a century France play their full strength side and it immediately bites them in the arse.

Walk it off, princess.

Official IRB RWC Match Report:
Samoa: 10
Argentina: 19

An absolute dirge of a match. Plop, plod, drop, 5 mins of scrum stand-around resets, plod plop, drop.

Samoa had nothing.

N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

And yet still were only a couple of sprayed Leiliafano penalty shots away from winning it.

I was at the match. It was awesome. Huge physicality in poor conditions. Argie fans are the best.
