So gutted for Jack. He has been outstanding since getting his chance in the first team, after poor Will broke his leg. We all wish Jack a speedy and full recovery.

We all know accidents happen and there was no out and out intent to hurt our players but Exeter went too far and were allowed to do so. Seeing Jack on the floor, I assumed the red card was to do with him. Anyway, bitterness is not useful now. Best wishes to Jack.

From 40:30 on the match clock, he makes about 4 tackles, and at every ruck Exeter fly off their feet. Gray comes in completely the wrong side & Kirsten just leaps on top of the ruck and presumably twists Jack's neck the wrong way at 41:06.

The most ridiculous thing is the ref gives the knock-on against Marchant.

Oh that's tough. At least the surgery was successful and fingers crossed he will recover in time for a good pre-season. It looked like a concussion on the field - didn't realise it was that bad.

I suspect we'll run with Chis / Lawday / Dombrandt / Taulani in the short term. Lawday has done very well at 7 considering it's not his primary position. For the 6N, I imagine Chis will shift to 8 and Wallace may come back in to contention.

Agree, Trenholm looks the next academy back row to be promoted. I can see Lamb being played at blindside. We need another line out jumper if we have to continue with Tizard and Syomons together. Keningham will defo be missed.

Let's hope WEV comes back soon.

Yep. First and foremost, let’s hope Jack has a swift and straightforward recovery.

When it comes to a replacement, it’s worth remembering that Kenningham came from more or less out of nowhere to become a key member of the first team squad. I’m not sure we could repeat the trick with Trenholm or Alikhan, but let’s try not to be too despondent.

Can’t get your video to play Jammy, what happened? I thought I saw one of their players go into the ruck shoulder first but not sure if it was this incident.

Jammy's is a still. See mine and Q4L's above.

Dirty chiefs - annoys the hell out of me that its not reffed properly.

Hope he makes full recovery and comes back stronger.

Yeah it's a screenshot taken from the match replay, showing Gray smashing him from the side, and another player leaping over the ruck. He got hit hard from multiple angles, it's no surprise he got hurt.

Any word on whether it's been picked up by the citing officer? At the very least there's a degree of recklessness in the entry.

It wouldn't meet the threshold for a red card offence, so extremely unlikely. It's "just" a penalty. It's an object lesson in how poorly rucks are refereed and managed in pro rugby, but it's miles away from being a citing.
