Damn that's rubbish news! After such positive news too. Sorry to hear that mate.

Tony bad news. I know you really wanted to play rugby again. At least you should be back on the bike and racing which may compensate?!

Oh dear, thats not good Tony. My arm is the same though, I didn't do physio properly and now it don't work right.

Some people eh?! ;)

Use the time off Rugby Tony to enjoy the other things you love, and get yourself fully fit for a comeback of all comebacks next year!

As someone who has had both ankle ligaments torn, knee replacement (ala Gaza stylee), ruptured hamstrings, dislocated shoulders, prolapsed disc and a nose that has been broken more times than I've ridden my Duke, I've now come to expect these things and use the recovery time to come back fitter and stronger than before.

I actually enjoy the off time, and really enjoy the look on my team-mates faces when I return 6/9/12/18* months (*delete as appropriate) later, full of energy, ready and raring to go!

'ave it!:bouncy:

Tough call Tony, At least there is light at the end of the tunnel and time will bring you back to fitness hope fully. You never no some thing might crop up that because of Rugby you would not have had the oppotunity to find out about. Have you thought about some thing else to fill you time with , like cliff diving or base jumping, sure safer than Rugby:lol: Ehhhh how about motor cycle racing that'll be right up your street . Chin up mate . 4D
