Rugby (Union) is my choice as I used to play (too old and unfit now) and still love watching it. However, I also enjoy watching American Football, and this year's Superbowl was excellent.

But in a few hours the best sporting competition in the world, the 6 Nations, continues with the English underdogs travelling the Millenium Stadium, ready to break Welsh hearts worldwide

ROFLMAO. come on!! Although they have the talent, england just can't find a play-maker who can break down defences for them, although talented, gould just isn't world class, where as Jones or Hook know how to win a game.

COME ON WALES

Remember when you beat us at Wembley (silly question, of course you do ) and it was totally unexpected, I'm thinking we'll do the same to you today. Actually that's a complete lie, I think we'll get stuffed, but I am the eternal optimist

That's just stupid. At least most NFL players have the good sense to get carted off the field when their neck is broken.

Retardedness, rugby....same thing.

[frookenhauer]

The big story about the little pinky! Lasted ooh about 8 pages. man! You yanks make an awful lot of fuss about a man sacrificing his little finger!

Anyway...Along comes a bonafide sporting hero scores a try (That's very similar to a touchdown) with a broken neck and you call it crazy...too crazy, wow. So there is a limit to how hard people can be? Balls Slum! Choke on your weak American hand egg wussishness!

Go relatively unknown rugby player!

[Slum]

I have my doubts as to whether or not that man's neck was broken. That's not the sort of injury you carry on with.

Broken neck = paralyzed, hospital...wheelchair.

I don't believe it for a second that a rugby player kept playing with a broken neck.

[frookenhauer]

I on the other hand have complete faith in the investigative journalistic abilities of people who write for...The St Helens star and the writer himself is a close personal friend of mine. In all the years I've know Andy Kilmurray I've never known him to lie and he was planning to become a clergyman, but decided against it because he was none too happy with the direction the church was moving to. And as for the4 Bastion of Truth, Justice and the Great British way that is personified by our esteemed rugby playing sportsman...Andy Burrows is an inspiration to us all. Amen.

[Slum]

Bullshit.

[frookenhauer]

Yeah...you got me. Andy was never going to be a clergyman.

I'll just step in and bemoan your medical knowledge - a broken neck does not always mean paralysis. It just means you have broken (or fractured) any one (or multiple) of the seven bones in your neck. It's spinal cord damage that causes paralysis to some degree or other, by no means necessarily (and in fact almost always not) wheelchair type paralysis. If one of the vertebrae is broken sufficiently to damage the spinal cord, then you can suffer a range of injuries from fucked up diaphragm control (leaving you needing a ventilator to breathe) through to just a loss of some dexterity in your hands.


You are most likely thinking of back breaks, which are more likely to cause lower body paralysis.

Fixed.

Only thing for him.

It wasn't that miraculous!

Bemoan all you want, fancypants. Either way, a spinal injury is a debilitating injury. You don't just shake off a spinal fracture....

And, if it was only a hairline fracture of the vertebrae, stop calling it a BROKEN NECK!!!
