All Blacks No. 10 went a full circle and fell hard on his neck. “It was a huge crash and I immediately feared the worst, especially when I was on the ground and told not to move.The 31-year-old New Zealander said in a video for the All Blacks YouTube channel.
“For a minute or two, you fear the worst…”
“It’s pretty scary when you fall backwards and end up on your head and shoulders. There was a period of fear for a minute or two where you feared the worst. It wasn’t until the doctor came over and asked if I could move my fingers and toes that I felt fine. I ended up sitting and I was able to walk and carry on (the game)“.
