French wing hospitalised after brutal collision

By Online Editors

VIDEO: Try-scoring France wing Remy Grosso was smashed in a tackle by All Blacks Sam Cane and Ofa Tu’ungafasi during the hosts’ overwhelming 52-11 victory in Auckland on Saturday.

Grosso suffered a double skull fracture after taking successive, back-to-back shots to the head.

Cane was penalised for a high tackle but Tu’ungafasi escaped punishment, leaving furious French coach Jacques Brunel calling for the incident to be reviewed by officials immediately after the game.

But after going over replays himself, Brunel said he now accepted the collision was not deliberate.
