[QUOTE="BrokenWing, post: 1041007, member: 78933"] The logic behind that seems quite sound, you don't want to risk a player coming back from injury. However, However, the letter of the law says injured and not 'possibly could get injured'. The worst I can see from this is, he tried to pull a fast one, the officials took a while sorting it out, the right thing happened and Leicester still lost? Bloodgate actually happened, as in players actually did it and it wasn't picked up at the time, whereas here nothing came of it. Ultimately, even if they had gone uncontested, Leicester would have had a guaranteed ball at the scrum and a two man overlap to exploit. I also remember years ago, a certain team being smashed in the scrum and getting a front row to come off 'injured' and conventiently having no other front row replacements with about 20 minutes to go, so this isn't a new thing that Bristol have thought up.
