Injuries not so super for Force

[wholetruth]

Oh no. Not already!

Western Force coach Michael Foley has been forced to reconsider his final recruiting plans for the 2013 Super Rugby season after being hit with long-term injuries to scrum-half Brett Sheehan and hooker Ben Whittaker.

Let's hope that's it and has taken the pre-season hoodoo away from No 10

"Luckily" this is old news - for a moment I thought it was someone else.

The new physio talks about Sheehan on new coaches corner on YouTube, he seperated his ankle against Italy.

Whittaker has tweeted his injury (leg in a cast) for over a week.

Anyway fingers crossed there are no more. The physio sounds extremely competent and switched on

Should put a hole in Cottesloes ranks as well.

Not all bad news.

vBookie odds? I am calling round 5 next year (16th of March)

I'm not a medico, but have had several leg injuries including a snapped Achilles tendon so I would be very surprised if Sheehan is fit to start the season. Even early March seems a stretch. However these guys are super fit to start with and have 24/7 medical and physio attention, so anythings possible.

It didn't seem like that bad a break at the time. Thankfully Mathewson is a great player and Mick Snowden looks very promising.

Ben Whittaker has just been cleared to return to full training!

"Just met with my Surgen with my X-rays.He has cleared me to play rugby Feeling very excited, blessed and motivated.A lot of hard work ahead."

Aren't they those strange looking fish whose eggs are harvested for black caviar?
