Brumbies player down, in serious trouble… prone on his back… it is Fardy!

Glass Jaw Fardy… caught a glacing blow on the side of the jaw… and looked out cold!

He seems to be bleeding profusely too…. phweeeew!
46

Fardy is up, sitting in the stretcher buggy, carted off.

He’s had a number of concussion incidents… might be time to call his career!
