There's a small crisis developing in rugby over the last few years regarding the frequency of injuries in the game. In fact it's becoming a bit of an epidemic.
Nowadays it's a rarity if someone manages to go a whole season without picking up an ailment of some sort, nevermind multiple seasons. Then of course, there's the curious case of Jamie Heaslip; half man, half machine.

Heaslip has gone off with a shoulder injury in the first half of Leinster's Pro 12 match with Ulster this afternoon. It's the first time he's been forced off with an injury in over four years...
Heaslip (shoulder) first injury since dec 2010 in Clermont.

Let's hope it's nothing too serious.
