Ear, ear. Terrible I know but **** I'd do it again.

"Friends, Ospreys, Countrymen, lend me your ears...

*stares in horrified way*

Ok... you can have it back now... ewwww..."

Poor guy, hope we'll see him again soon. Best of luck.

I heard the commentators say that he was being rushed to hospital for a cut. Didn't expect anything like this tbh. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary whilst watching. Good luck to the bloke, he's got alot of potential.

I saw this happen once to a boxer on Friday Night Fights here in North America, it just hung there for a few moments until the ref noticed it I wasn't even sure if the boxer knew himself. Fight was obviously immediately stopped, its a pretty rare injury.

Sounds horrible. He had an outstanding game a few weeks ago against Munster, so hope he has a speedy recovery and get back out there and can continue developing into the tidy player he easily could be.

He now beats Bazil for the title of 'least amount of ear'.
Get well soon! Looking forward to seeing more of him.
I take it he is now seen as a blindside and not a second row? Doesn't really have the size for SR.

Happened in one of my schools matches to out hooker a few years ago..pretty sickening.

But wishing him a speedy recovery and a happy new ear.
