So shortly the latest round of rugby's European premier competition kicks off-the RBS 6 Nations' Rugby Championship. However, several members of the teams from the last round will not be taking their place in the line-ups as the 4th weekend of fixtures takes place, injured on international duty.
Knee injuries have claimed two of the most exciting players, Conor Murray of Ireland & Maxine Medard of France. One occured in landing without anyone else in contact causing severe bruising to the knee (Murray for Ireland), the other injured in a contact situation with an opponent-his knee and lower limb exposed as a rival for the ball ploughed through getting to the ball first driving Medard off his feet but with his foot temporarily planted in the turf.
He sustained an ACL injury.

Watch here as the French player planting his foot is injured by the opposing player's shoulder as he dives to the floor.
Now watch it again from behind to see the contact on the lower limb.
