Horrifying to see and hear that live - and did the French TV producers have to show it twice in gruesome replay even as the man was in the throes of his agony?

The actions of Ben Keyser were near enough to make you sob. A simple kiss, so incongruous and yet so sublimely human.

And that crowd? A year ago they flew our flags for Anthony and now ... is there a side or a group of supporters you'd rather see win this thing?

Heart out to you Camille. Get on the mend soon.

Dear Mother of God! And now Morgan brains himself on a knee. Spedding now playing at 10! That's going to do a lot for their passing game. You can't see them winning this one now

Holy feck! It's a bloodbath out there.

Parra back on; Hartley yellow and Saints' replacement hooker off for an HIA after clashing heads with Lawes!

ASM might just dig this out.

Yes. Good call (probably the only one he made all day) by Ben Whitehouse to stop the game immediately and call the medics on. He probably heard the leg snap!

Camy was so clearly in terrible distress and showing it in replay was utterly unnecessary. Great work by the medics to get to him, stabilise the leg and get some happy juice in. Equally good work by the crowd who immediately sussed how serious it was and got behind their man.

For me that simple gesture by Keyser sums up the beauty of our game.

I'm torn as I now want to see the reaction but perhaps not the incident.

Lopez seems a very likeable guy.

The fatter Jason Manford is truly shite isn't he.
