My leg hit the other one.
I went up into the air and like I'm at full speed at this stage.
So up, up into the air and then just landed, jammed my knee onto the ground.
And you literally can see a picture of my knee bend in the wrong direction.
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Gives me the heebie-jeebies.
So up into the air, knee landed, boom, hyperextended it and just felt pop, pop, pop, like the whole thing just go... Go through again there where what went.
your lateral ligament on the outside I think my inside MCL went as well my so then but then you have your IT band so it ripped off nasty one that fella that was the sore that was where the pain was and then the hamstring so the hamstring then came off the bone as well so the one remember like Paulie did the hamstring off the bone key and
which is a real bad one for a winger to have because like your hamstring, that's where the speed comes from.
So like, and the hamstring as well, when that comes off the bone, it doesn't like see the way the ligaments would stay there.
They'd like stay in the inside hamstring, like because it's so wound up, it like spirals up.
So it goes like right up into your arse.
Not that you feel that, but like whenever they're trying to reattach it.
Whenever they're actually, so the knee surgeon, when he was having to reattach all of it, oh my God, the pain with this was so bad that he was having to like get the LCL right on the outside of the knee, put that, then he put the IT band on top of it and then he'd unravel the hamstring, pull it down, stretch it and then put it on top, like the three of them pretty much on top of each other and then put a screw into it to screw it all into your knee.
Well, so that was actually right.
So that's different, right?
So the one against Northampton was my right knee, right?
Then fast forward a couple of years to the World Cup 2015.
