Joe Ansbro Breaks Neck

First it seems its not as serious as it sounds (I realise how ridiculous that sounds). Apparently he had a triple fracture of a bone at the top of his spine in a friendly against Munster.

He has to be immobilised for 8 weeks and then have another 4-6 weeks out before he can train again

First of all, all the best to Joe, thats a terrible injury and one you wouldn't wish on anyone

Second its amazing that the medics can make something that serious right again, it sounds like a career - or even life - ending injury, to think he could be back before Christmas is incredible

Elsewhere Gavin Henson is out for 6 weeks with a fractured cheekbone and yes it was an on the field, rather than pub, plane or airport injury
