Good article.
Few other interesting articles currently on the site as well
1. Rory Sutherland – obviously being out for a year is a bad injury but had not appreciated just how bad it was.
"It was in the warm-up,” he explained when asked how the injury had occurred shortly before he was due to play in the Challenge Cup game. “I went out and had warmed up for maybe five or 10 minutes. We do a couple of sprints just to get some air into the lungs, and when I took off my adductor just pinged off the bone.
“It was a week before I got a check-up down in London. After that, I had my operation a week later. After the operation I was bed-bound for a good month. I then got a really bad infection [at the site of the injury], so I had to go back down again for another checkup. They repaired that, but I was in bed for another couple of months. After that, it was just slowly building into rehab, doing longer sessions, gym work and then taking baby steps into running. It was a long process, just building up to fitness.
2.In the Van De Walt article wee update on Injuries – Marfo expected back for Glasgow (tight back), Bennett likely to be available but may not be risked
