[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 591944, member: 55446"] Took 8 months out after a neck injury April 2012 - Dec 2013, and another 8 months later, he's out for the season? It's not just the physical toll it takes, but the mental one. I would be very surprised if Croft hadn't considered retiring from the sport... I think it goes through most people's minds when they pick up two major injuries within a short space of one another. I hope not, since he's very useful for England. I do think it's a big loss, but I also think it's in one of the areas of the squad we have ready replacements. As for replacements, I'd be tempted to use this as a chance to bring in Webber. Don't think we should only have 2 hookers in the squad, and Launchbury covers 6 very well, and I don't see who else would challenge Robshaw/Wood/Kvesic out of the Saxons yet. Most didn't even get games this weekend. 4. Launchbury 5. Parling 6. Wood 7. Robshaw 8. Morgan/Vunipola 19. Attwood 20. Kvesic [/QUOTE]
