Just said on Sky that he's dislocated his shoulder and they can't get it back into place and they're having to take him to the hospital.
Could be out for quite a while.

I stand corrected on the Westerman injury - according to Sky he [ihas[/i dislocated it and they can't get it back in. Just been carted off to hospital. He definitely stood up and rotated the shoulder though.

Our long kicks could improve - I don't know whether Dorn is just placing himself well but most of our kicks are going straight to him.

Dorn is a quality player and great reader of the game, we haven't had a decent long kicking game for years tbh

Willy Manu is bloody good. That fend and break which set up the try earlier was fantastic. Always said I'd love to see him in cherry and white.

Frustrating performance this. Some good stuff but just not quite there.

BOOM, Rinaldi felt that.


WTF He's red carded him!!

What?????

Unbelievable. That's poor even by Silverwood's low standards.

I don't think that that was a red card offence. Rinaldi was going down low, and Moa's hit made first contact with Rinaldi's upper-arm/shoulder before moving upwards. I thought that it was just a good hit that had unfortunately caused an injury.


Manu's been magnificent this 2nd half.

That london player's tackle was worse he only went for sharp's head, all moa did was go for a big hit

I think that was very harsh. Looked to me as though Moa's shoulder connected with Rinaldi's shoulder as Rinaldi was dipping into Moa. Either way there was definitely nothing malicious in that. Do you think Moa has just been given Tommy Lee's red card? Nervous refereeing?

Editat least [/ia yellow?

This now means that we are missing both Moa and Westerman for next weeks match. I assume that Green will come in at prop, possibly Turner as an interchange back-rower.

We'll do well to hang on here. Two forwards down and a man short. Silverwood has ruined the game.

That assumes that Moa picks up a ban. If there's any justice he'll get SOS.
