Messam and Whitelock unlikely for a month
- 544
It takes a lot for two guys like Sam Whitelock and Liam Messam to leave the pitch and it appears they had good reason to.
Both players will be out of action for up to a month with rib and quad problems respectively.
It was an odd sight to see him trudge off but Whitelock's fall from height at the lineout limited his night to a meagre 27 minutes.
The lock winced as he was prodded by the doctor and looked in serious discomfort.
The good news for the middle row fixture is the rib cartilage injury is better than first thought.
However, the next he will be seen is on the end of year tour.
