On the other hand, Matty Rea was said to have had a bang to the leg against the Ospreys, yet he was on crutches last night and Gusher mentioned a "nasty knee injury".

Anyone heard anything?

I've seen players with a boot on one week and playing the next week.

I'd have thought a knee brace would be more appropriate for a knee injury. My point is they are very cautious right up to the point of return to play.

Aye, Matty Rea was in a knee brace and on crutches. Only injury from last night looked like Deysel?

"However, back row Jean Deysel looks certain to miss the remainder of the season after sustaining what Gibbes described as a "significant knee injury" in Saturday's win over Glasgow.

There had been reports that the South African suffered a cruciate ligament injury but Gibbes said Ulster are still waiting for the "final diagnosis".

I’d have thought our lot could spot a ruptured ACL from Ethel’s kitchen

The problem is we can't, that's why we keep signing duffers with dodgy knees.

I read an article to say that it's more to do with the surface. How many ACLs has the pitch claimed?

Has anyone looked at the players boots? I recall a few years back, FC Barcelona attributed knee injuries to a certain type of boots. They banned the wearing of them.
