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.

France put World Cup pain behind them with unbeaten run in November

I thought Argentina were unlucky with Luke Pearce's decision for the penalty try. Clearly the ball did travel toward the Argentina try line after it was flapped at by the Argentine player although his hand motion was going the other way. Thus the result was that he slowed it down rather than deliberately knocked it on whatever his actual intention was. Playing with 14 for 20 minutes in the first half was too big a handicap.

As above he went to improve himself and that's exactly what he did. Don't take my word for it, read Skelton's own words.

It's well documented that Saracens was the first time Skelton was asked to get properly fit enough to play the game https://www.rugbypass.com/news/it-was-a-light-bulb-moment-will-skelton-reveals-exactly-how-he-went-from-148kg-to-135kg/


If he didn't he'd be out on the street, and to his credit he made himself a better player than he'd ever been at home.

Why England's defence of the realm has crumbled without Felix Jones

It's hard to advance beyond the 'nonsense' sadly RW. JW won't ever give the NH credit, so he masks his bile as back-handed compliments - 'oh the England D is as good as ever, but Aussie and SA have improved and the holes were always there!'. Tripe.

England well-stocked in the back-row aren't they DM? Ben Earl has not been carrying quite as effectively at 8 of late so PEarson may come into the equation for the 6N.

Why England's defence of the realm has crumbled without Felix Jones

He has some credibility gut he is an emerging coach with experience in only one domestic league NC. Felix Jones has experience in Ireland, South Africa and England and has been part of world cup winning ventures, so Joe is playing catch-up in terms of knowledge.

Yes I remember him as a player too. He was a hard, decent flanker.


But the drop-off from Felix Jones is still immense. Coaching Top 14 D is very different to coaching D in international rugby - the priorities are different, the challenges are like chalk and cheese. It's a huge ask for him.

Spot on Tom. They gave every indication of buying in and it worked. It would have gotten better gain this autumn had he felt motivated to stay. But the key defenders are now looking confused in situations when it really matters. As you say it looks ragged and un-cohesive.

'I have full belief that if we play well we can beat South Africa'

You have to have dreams to reach for the stars, but without believing it, it won't ever happen. It's one thing to say things to the media, quite another to believe what you regurgitate just for the journalists and the public. No one is fooled, and it's the one game they knew Wales will get smashed. The Boks won 10 games without being at their best. Even on their baddest day they will smash this Wales team.


I don't really blame the players. I blame the WRU. Their best players is not available due to restrictions, small change as pay and an overly believe in their own power that amounts to nothing. Get rid of them and Gatland, and maybe their will be an upwards curve. They will lose against the Boks, and also all the games in the 6N if they keep the current board. Italy will be able to smash them.
