On Sunday 18 May 2008, Cipriani suffered a serious injury during Wasps' semi-final play-off victory over Bath. Cipriani was tackled by Olly Barkley and got trapped at the bottom of a ruck in the 49th minute at Adams Park. His ankle was severely disfigured.

He needed oxygen on the pitch before being taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery on his ankle. He was ruled out of England's tour of New Zealand after Wasps confirmed he will miss six months with a fracture dislocation of his right ankle.

Ouchy.

My mums friends husband died after a nasty tackle. Internal bleeding and all that. He played professionally too.

That looked incredibly painful anyway...

Definitely uncomfortable viewing. Good stuff, Para.
