I think he was definitely going to have a scan on that knee so they were treating it as serious.
Pity they didn't treat it as serious about ten mins before he eventually went off.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Out of the world cup with an ACL.
Yeah just heard in work as well cheers. Shame for the lad but always a risk with these friendlies.
It was truly baffling that Anscombe stayed on the field for as long as he did.
I think he did his acl when he took a conversion but tried to run it off. That made it worse and he wasn’t even sprinting when it went. Great shame for the lad and Wales. On the other hand, England have an embarrassment of riches particularly in the back five of the scrum. Doesn’t necessarily mean they will win the WC though. A WC winner is joining my local rugby club as a none playing member having moved into the area.
Scott Barrett has been suspended for 3 weeks as a result of his red card against Australia on Saturday.
Wow. I thought there might be a question of downgrading it. Standing by the ref there.
I don't disagree with Scott Johnson: https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/...p/news-story/c1c0d6f0f7a5bb1f6fb8c6b496367eda

Cooney, Bealham and Haley cut from the Irish squad.
Carbery included with a 4-6 week recovery time suggested.
Huge, huge chance for Jack Carty now given the extra playing time he'll get in the next few fixtures.
Also, Cooney being cut is interesting because there was a theory he'd be brought to cover 9 and 10 if Carbery looked dodgy.

This is a mad scenario... Four teams have a chance to be top of the world this weekend.

I feel like the Wallabies genuinely can win at Eden Park but I'm still in the expect the worst, hope for the best mindset.
Brutal conditions.
You'd wonder how much this will change each team's tactics. If the conditions were good, it would have been very interesting to see if the Aussies backed themselves and went for it like last weekend.
Likely to be a very different game now with lots of handling errors.

Poor start Australia...
Australia are in for a hiding here if they don't wake up soon.
Ardie Savea has been immense in that first 14 minutes. AB's kicking much better this weekend too.

Shaping up like there'll be cards here. A lot of tackles slipping up around the neck.
Nic White coming alive. A series of great snipes there because ABs are standing off.
Nice of Australia to listen to me.
If you concede a penalty, let alone two that close to the line when defending the tryline, it should be an automatic penalty try.
It's the equivalent of last man in football. You're using foul play to prevent a try.

Lealiifano looked like he was going to miss that from the moment he started his runup.
Yup. There were a few more too the ref didn't spot that slowed the ball.
That could be it, to be honest.
Nic White Frisbee 
Australian pack haven't been bad to be fair. Not has Nic White.
I'd imagine everyone behind that will be frightened of going into the changing room at halftime.

Feel for you, @Xaviesta
How good was Ardie Savea! Incredible workrate from him today!
Brutal. 36-0.
What a reaction. Aussies weren't that bad but NZ were so clinical and immense on scramble defence.
Thanks. I had a bad feeling the moment it started pissing down at Eden Park. The Wallabies were thoroughly outplayed by a team that knew how to play to the conditions. On the All Blacks side of things, Ardie Savea and squeaky voice Aaron Smith were brilliant. It was as if some of their players took last week's result as a personal stain on their dignity as All Blacks.
Apologies to all Irish supporters for playing the All Blacks back into form with a potential World Cup quarter final meeting in mind.
Fingers crossed it was a great performance in awful conditions papering over some cracks that are still there...
Stuff like this confuses me. He's not showing live games just analysis of highlights. How do they lose revenue from this? Having that channel taken down won't get the 6N a single extra penny in revenue. It's like these people hate us fans.
Always enjoy the analysis and humour on offer in Squidge's videos. Such a shame.
I would have thought it falls under Fair Use too.
Can't fault a man who hates Folau and loves Wyn Jones that much
Wales #1
FFS Scotland! This is a disgrace!
I said at the time when we changed head coach we were making a massive mistake in taking Townsend after all the fantastic work Cotter had done.
This year's Six Nations and the absolute shambles I am witnessing against France, I'm not convinced I was wrong.

Why did Cotter leave?
