Article in the League Express, that Menzies illness shows the signs of swine flu, so he was shipped back on the second team bus, in an attempt to stop it spreading to the first team

Its probably a load of rubbish as anyone with a temp is told they might have swine flu at the moment but we could really do with out the player dropping like flies !

yeah i saw this on twitter too from the sun i think...hopefully if it is it's only a few days out.

Steam Pigs, bound to happen.

At the reserve match - he looked ill, bit feverish, sounded croaky and described himself as being " a bit crook". If he phoned the help line they would probably tell him he has swine flu.

It can be quite dangerous for old people too. I hope he going to be ok.

It's on the back of the T&A today. He's apparantly been medicated and will be out for a few days. I'd expect him to miss the 1st game against quins but hopefully he'll be back for the away game.

I hope he read the flu friend info that Bullseye posted a few weeks back.

I hope you all have. I don't want to be infected by some daft git who ventures out and spreads germs everywhere.

You are all going to get it at some point, it's inevitable. Why not hold a flu party to get it over and done with?

Everyone could nip round to Steve Menzies' house.

I've already had it. So I'm immune.

I'm just getting over a bout

Thankfully it was relatively mild, although I'm not sure I'd have wanted to be playing a rugby match at its height! I'd expect Menzies to miss at least one game - but to be honest we should be able to beat Quins in their current run of bad form

Dirty mexican pigs!!

or is it not the pig lovers we should be cross with?

So just what was Platt thinking of spreading swine flu about the first team!

Might have known that Platt would get the blame......
