Quote: tigertot "I remember Richie Blackmore dislocating his shoulder early 90s. He had it put back in, did 100 press ups in front of Darryl van de Velde to prove his fitness, played the next game & it came straight out again. Nikau tried to wrench it back in the pitch, unsuccessfully. He was then out for about 3 months. I hope Ward's doesn't do the same.'"
My guess is that Ward's tests were a bit more rigorous than that
I guess we'll only know after the first few collisions on Saturday though.
