Former Ireland international Joey Carbery picked up an injury during his first appearance for Bordeaux Bègles in the Top 14 on Saturday.

Carbery has been afflicted with repeated injuries throughout his career and his bad luck appears to have returned

Carbery left Munster at the end of last season to join the French club and started at fly-half in their second-round match against Lyon Olympique Universitaire.

He impressed in the first half scoring five points through a penalty and a conversion.

His debut was brutally cut short when he was injured in the 41st minute forcing a substitution. Bordeaux head coach Yannick Bru later confirmed that Carbery’s injury is suspected to be a hand fracture.

Despite his positive contribution in the first half Bordeaux lost the game 28-26. The club will assess the extent of Carbery’s injury in the coming days as they prepare for the next stage of their Top 14 campaign.

He’s likely to spend weeks if not months on the sideline.

Bulls book Leinster URC showdown but injury to Springbok tarnishes win

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the Hendrikses, but that’s based on maybe not enough viewing so we’ll live in hope. Not sure about Dobbo either - I think he’s go to rein in Sacha particularly because when he’s not on the field they play well.

I think the PSDT tackle on Richie quite early on in that 23 final got to him though. He was watching the oncoming traffic with more intent that any other game of his I have watched. No matter how confident and tough you are a jaw rattling tackle that makes you taste iron in your mouth, makes you view the game through a different lense.

Thank goodness Rassie has put out the word he doesn’t want Sasha FM to play anywhere other then 10.

A far cry from the guy who had a finger amputated so he could go on an AB tour to South Africa. But Spew those were the days when you had a profession and you would retire at seventy with a pension and rugby was a passion - not a job. Doc Craven was vehemently opposed to professional rugby for that very reason. He said once it became a job everything would change. And it did.

Brumbies vs Hurricanes: Wallabies lead the way, expect the unexpected

Hurricanes inability to get even one turnover cost them the game, among other things obviously, but the fact they conceded 5 tries tells you they could not disrupt the Brumbies at the breakdown.

Much like the Hurricanes fizzling out at the end of last season, this result and the nature of it casts a bit of a shadow over some players who seemed to be knocking on the ABs door.

I had a chat with Rassie in our local pub Doodles in Blouberg on Friday. He says without exception the guys playing in Japan loooove the lifestyle. They and their families are treated like royalty. Perhaps Richie just enjoys the lifestyle more than living in NZ. My son in law who has spent a long time in Japan tells me that it is an unreal experience. Perhaps that’s the karma balance. There is a stifling oldness about the NZ grass chair brigade. The same as there was in SA until Rassie got backed by the political establishment. The old Darwinian adage is really fitting in the case of NZ rugby. Adapt or die.

Chiefs vs Blues: Barrett pips McKenzie, shades of Leinster

Highlights the stupid format even more. Chiefs have nothing to play for and turn out a flat performance in what should be the highest intensity games of the year - they don’t even lose their home semi final.

Lucky loser should have become the 4th seed with a guaranteed away semi.

Hey Nick. Don’t discourage NZ’s stay at home policy. It works for everyone except the AB’s

Why Brumbies could be key to avoiding a Lions tour cricket score

After yesterday Spot on Nick. The Brumbies are the way for the Wallabies - just get the lineout right or they will be Lion fodder.

We gathered for a day of unfettered rugby. Had old foes from my Varsity days who played for Tukkies and newly found friends from the Cape Town Stadium Stormers legions. We watched the Brumbies Hurricanes game, broke for breakfast then watched the Wimbledon Woman’s final (Well played Coco) and then got stuck into the real stuff Bulls vs Sharks. Overall take? I have never seen a top NZ side bossed quite as badly as the Brumbies bossed The Canes. Typically Australian the Brumbies lineout was a shambles. The Canes lineout did it’s work but they can’t maul for toffee. Canes front row looked like a girls school side. Where oh where is the front row granite of the Blacks of old? From a Saffa perspective = thank goodness the Bulls won. At least they have a fighting chance in the Dublin final. Sorry for Cameron. Hope he’s right for the big ones to come. Young Hooker is emerging as a serious threat to the big Bok wing names. Off to Arniston for a relaxing three days and watching the Wimbledon men’s final in the best pub in the deep south of the globe. See y’all next Saturday.

Rassie had little choice because the rand tanked and everyone was leaving. He had a golden generation of forwards that he couldn't afford to not choose. A very different situation to what Robinson faces.

And it's not true to say that they expect people to stay in NZ their whole career. Many All Blacks and coaches have either had sabbaticals or been welcomed back after overseas contracts.
