Some heroes of the final against Leinster suffered injuries. The case of Julien Marchand seems the most serious.
An intense standoff. More than 100 minutes with overtime. A phenomenal fight on defense. For immense happiness. But also concern for some European champions affected in London.
The most worrying case seems to be that of hooker Julien Marchand. Came into play at 55e minute, the French international had to leave the pitch in the 90the. He has “felt his ankle crack”, revealed Ugo Mola. Center Pita Ahki, who left his partners in the 22nde minute, he suffers from hamstrings.
Concussion and blows for Meafou
Emmanuel Meafou, released for concussion protocol, complained of several blows to the head, thigh and calf. “In the end, he didn’t even know anymore. We therefore suspect a concussion., admitted the Toulouse manager. Joshua Brennan also left the battlefield on concussion protocol.
Finally, sanctioned with a red card, Australian second-row Richie Arnold will most certainly be suspended by the EPCR disciplinary committee. It remains to be seen how long his sanction will last.
