Scannell and Reid didnt seem to have good days out

Looks like Ruddock may have injured his arm again

was it not his good arm so to speak he injured?

Not 100% sure, can't remember which one he broke. It was his right one this time he was struggling I think with, which he already had a lot of padding/strapping on the forearm of. Then again that seems to be the trendy look for forwards these days.

Only saw bits of the match but was a fairly poor match, we had 20 points after 20 mins and thats about all we did for the match.

yeah he went off with right arm hurt but left one the one with the huge amount of padding on it

Is this the senior Uruguayan XV? They're really dreadful

They made a serious amount of changes from the first game and the coach talked about giving players a chance to stake a claim from WC spots with this selection, so my guess is that it was mostly second string.

That said, my knowledge of Uruguayan rugby isn't as complete as it might be.

Bad news for Rhys Ruddock. Injured his right arm again.

EMERGING IRELAND CAPTAIN Rhys Ruddock will play no further part in the squad’s Tbilisi Cup campaign and may not return in time to make Ireland’s Rugby World Cup
The Leinster blindside was replaced after 20 minutes of today’s 33 – 7 win over Uruguay. Post-match, it was revealed that Ruddock has injured his right arm.
Ruddock broke his right forearem in Leinster’s Champions Cup meeting with Harlequins in December. The 24-year-old returned to play for his province during the Six Nations, but suffered a recurrence of the problem after two games back.
Now, Emerging Ireland coach Allen Clarke was holding out hope for the x-ray results, it would appear the issue has scuppered the back row again with the World Cup kicking off in three months and a day.
“It’s early days, but he’ll go for an x-ray and the result of that x-ray will tell us where he is,” Clarke told IrishRugby.ie
“He’s had a knock there before, but I’m not the expert. It would be wrong to second guess the x-ray. I’ve concern for him as an individual, but he’s a resilient young man, he’ll bounce back. It rules him out of the rest of the tournament.”

It's always been your major weakness!

He had a lot of strapping on his left as well but that was at the elbow.

Papers saying this morning they suspect he's reinjured the right forearm.

very worrying that its a recurring injury but 3 times in 7 months is alarming
fingers crossed for him but it could be something obscure the Leinster & Ireland medics/consultants are missing
