but on the other hand a series of nasty stud injuries won't do the sport any good either.
it's tricky.

speaking of nasty stud injuries, here is one graphic image from this week-end to back up the point.

Bloody hell. If there was ever a photo to back up why we should do stud checks - there it is.

What did the stud look like that did that damage?

You would have to ask Saracens flanker Maro Itoje that.
In his defense it was an unintentional clash, unlucky though it was for the South African.

40 stitches later it didn't look nearly so bad.

In the first picture posted on Twitter following the match, Schonert tweets the instigator - Saracens flanker Maro Itoje, saying: 'Check them studs mate!!'

I'm curious whether the studs were checked straight after the game, and what the result was. Eg if the studs were illegal, then it would suggest that somebody has ballsed up.

Presumably they were checked before the game started. Please tell me they were.
