You’d be forgiven after seeing Rabbitohs player Sam Burgess’ horrifying head-on collision with St. George Dragons’ Mike Cooper that the bloke had sustained a really serious injury. Play was stopped for a few minutes, and his mother Julie was visibly shaken in the stands.

He was stretchered off the field, obviously in massive pain. The Rabbitohs lost to the Dragons 8 – 6.
Initial scan results are positive. Thank you all for messages of support – feeling extremely lucky tonight. A few days of rest now. Sam
