Anyone seen anything more about this? Certainly raised an eyebrow for me. Sequence of events appeared to be:-
Starting hooker goes off injured and is replaced as required.
Replacement hooker goes off injured.
Romaine Poite (ref) is advised by 4th/5th official that Ospreys are out of hookers, it is therefore uncontested scrums, so the replacement hooker cannot be replaced (and Ospreys go down to 13 as a result of earlier unrelated red card).
At least one uncontested scrum takes place.
After a while, we are back to contested, with the starting loosehead playing at hooker - I presume that meant Ospreys were back up to 14.
The only reason I could come up with for that sequence was that the starting loosehead was in the blood bin when the replacement hooker went off, and once he was patched up he went on to make the scrums contested again. Either that, or he was given some training at how to play hooker and sent on when he was deemed STE...
Did I miss something??
