England v Australia, Saturday, 5.00pm, BBC2

I think we all expected that when we saw her head hit the ground, and knew it when she didn't come back to the pitch.

We've got cover, and she looked okay, so hopefully symptoms are mild and transient.
As the numbers say, Botterman's is more concerning at this moment.

HBs was a back spasm wasn’t it, haven’t seen anything outside of daily monitoring on that so far.
 
Back spasm is what's been said
I don't think we know for sure, but even if thats what's been said - that was more than a muscular spasm I saw on my screen
Back spasm is definitely what’s been said but that could just be trying to play it down.
She posted:
Just wanted some attention.
Thanks for all the love🤝🏻🤍
Not sure what to read into that
 
How long do you think she'd be out for if that were the case?

Depends on the physio, generally pretty good at this level of sport - so about 5 seconds after appropriate care - the associated muscle spasm would then take a day or two to calm down.

It's one of those miracle cure conditions.
 
Oh, that's good news
That's "if" my "hopefully" is right.

If you've ever slept awkwardly and cricked your neck - agony and literally cannot move your neck - that's a mensicus entrapment.
Release it, remove the entrapment, and it all goes away - from complete debilitation of the area

I get that a lot, especially at the moment.

What's the best way to release it?
 
The updated BBC article now says:
England will monitor Botterman over the next two days before making a decision over whether she restarts training with the rest of the the team on Tuesday.
 
Really looking forward to this one, sole game I'm attending and with a football fan who obtained the tickets via his football season ticket, will try and concentrate, probably get a little side tracked from the game trying to explains decisions and rules.
This is quite a succinct guide to the basics you could send him:



It doesn't have too much about the most boring and longest sport in the world so don't be put off by the title

Not too shabby, didn't mention mauls or much on lineouts.

Very light on scrums, but it's disclaimer did say it wasn't going into much detail.

I would have said 2019 38-38 Calcutta Cup match would have been the perfect example of a good back and forth match.

Or the Bristol v Quins semi final 😀 I rewatch that once a year
 

It comes to something when women rugby fans out drink make football fans
I’m guessing (based on my card statement) me and my mate consumed circa 16 beers combined, between 15:00 and 22:00.
