Shoulder charge in RU is an automatic sin bin, one of the worst rules in the game.

Only saw it on the big screen and it looked like Burgess' head hit Walker's shoulder but I couldn't really tell - hope the lad's Ok - it looked real nasty.

Awful, his teeth seem lower to the right of his jaw.

Hope he's ok, had a fairly decent game!

Why?

Ouch bet hes not up for Frosties in the morning

Thanks so much for all ur concerns every1!to put it simply,my jaw is f[sizeu[/sizecked!check the pic out,in ambulance

Christ, that looks awful.

Hope he recovers quickly and the damage is minimal.
No intent just 2 props going at it and the collision went wrong.

Ouch!!!!

Because a shoulder charge can be utilized in a safe way to stop an opponent 99% of the time. Union's laws about having the wrap your arms around an opponent are ridiculous.

that looks like his jaw has split and displaced
i hope not but that is how it looks.
get well soon, luke. started to show some good form sure that will continue next season if not this
for having that pic taken for the fans of the game

Another reason why our sport outshines others. You wouldnt get Rooney posting pics like that without making money out of it.

yes they are, the southern hemisphere commentators seem to want 'hits' to be allowed.

you can just as easily cause a nasty injury by accident whilst wrapping your arms around.

let's not forget this tackle was entirely legal, just unfortunate for luke burgess

Indeed, fully agree.

our sport is full of MEN who spend most of their careers pretending not to be injured.

Football is full of blokes who spend most of their careers pretending they are injured

and the fans fall for it and believe it
