Halfpenny

What was the injury? I was so distracted by yet another last minute walkover that I wasn't paying attention anymore. Where was he hurt? Was he conscious?

He's been taken to hospital. Situation unknown.

Not sure, didn't look good thoug. I hope he's ok though, never stops putting his body on the line

Fingers crossed - I hope it's precautionary

Hope he's alright. Wales' most consistent performer this year. Also hope Davies recovers well.

Gatland just said Halfpenny went immediately to hospital and know one as yet knows what has happened or how bad his injury is.

Very sad news...!

Hope he's ok. That's the main thing.

HALFPENNY RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL
2 December 2012 11:35amBy Graeme GillespieLeigh Halfpenny is attended to by the Wales medical staff after taking a heavy bang.Leigh Halfpenny was discharged from hospital today following scans at University Hospital Wales.

Everyone has been so supportive and the care that I have had has been incredibly professional and second to none
The Cardiff Blues full back was taken from the pitch in the final moments of Wales' match against Australia at the Millennium Stadium yesterday complaining of neck pain.

He was immediately admitted to hospital to exclude any serious neck injury, a process which thankfully has now been concluded.

"I want to say thank you to all of the medical teams who have looked after me following my injury yesterday," said Halfpenny. "The paramedics, WRU and Millennium Stadium medical teams were outstanding. All of the staff at University Hospital Wales were also amazing.

"Everyone has been so supportive and the care that I have had has been incredibly professional and second to none. I'd also like to thank all of those who have been sending me messages of support following the injury."

Halfpenny will now undertake a period of treatment and rehabilitation to ensure that a swift return to play is undertaken.

Good news

That's good news, he has been the standout player, especially against Oz. It could have been a devastating blow for a talented young man.

Very glad to see this. Cracking good player and nice bloke, by all accounts.
