Not for the first time this season, George North is put in harm's way after a sickening collision. He was knocked out cold after touching down for a try in Northampton's game against Wasps.
As he touched down in the corner, Wasps back-row forward Nathan Hughes' knee collided with his face. Hughes received a red card.
The decision has proved very divisive on twitter with many expressing worry for North but arguing that it was an accidental collision and didn't call for a red card. Others have suggested that Hughes should have easily been able to stop in time.
