News on Bradley Davies

Does anyone know how Davies is doing? Last I heard was Gatland's post match comment where he mentioned he'd been taken to hospital, but has there been an update?

Presumably his concussion will mean he is unavailable to play against Australia next week at any rate?

Yes, Davies misses the game with concussion.

Davies has returned home after spending Saturday night in hospital after suffering concussion from an act of foul play by New Zealand's Andrew Hore, who has been cited.

Davies was hit from behind by hooker Hore in the second minute of Wales' 33 -10defeat and was unable to continue.

"He's [Bradley Davies] got severe concussion. He won't be available this weekend," said assistant coach Rob Howley on Monday.

At least hes ok, the most important thing in all this.

Severe concussion and "OK" are not quite the same thing

At least he didn't break his neck or swallow his tongue.

Hores actions were surely not premeditated but the consequences of such errant behaviour could be appalling.

"Severe Concussion" is pretty serious stuff indeed.

Jees didn't realise it was that bad. All the best to him. When's Hore infront of the firing squad?

So that's the new NZ definition of a 'hooker' then.
One who throws 'hooks' at his oppo.
