He also lost four teeth during the ruck. After discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed and he left the field and watched the remainder of the game from the grandstand where he witnessed the All Blacks lose"....
