Yes, it will be playing 15 due to its ability to spring.

More interested in if it can catch

Fibula fracture doesn't actually tell us anything. Anything from a tiny fragment of bone pulled off the end that is treated as a sprain, through to a career ending syndesmosis injury like Sam Jones had all fall under "fibula fracture"

Based on what we saw at the time and the tweets I'd say a pretty nasty ankle fracture that was manipulated into a good position and is being treated in a cast.

Backdoc might have more info though.

Either way I really hope he recovers to 100%.

The cat might be an improvement,  At least he has (I presume) 4 legs so should go twice as fast as some of the  players.

Just trialled her with a mini sponge oval ball. Unfortunately bit of a Mike Brown- catches ok but won’t pass and scowls a lot.

Might be more a French Hooker, Camille Chat?

Blackett is quoting 4-6 months out, which is a lot if it was just a fibula fracture, so probably a significant ligament injury as well.

Yeah, and the fact he had it operated on now suggests it wasn't quite as simple as originally thought.  Either way I hope he recovers fully.

Elliot is Will Greenwood's 5 in his Premiership team of the season:

5 Elliot Stooke (Wasps)
Like Ben Earl, has been an ever-present – proper shoulder-to-the-wheel stuff when you think of the Wasps injury crisis and the toll of playing every week in the second row. Such a competitive position. Looks can be deceiving. More than a big lump who plods. Dynamic, ball-carrying, ball-handling second row forward, who gave everything to the Wasps cause every single week. I was saddened to see him taken off on a stretcher two weeks ago. Rugby can be cruel. Sean Robinson of Newcastle, Hugh Tizard of Quins, Dave Ribbans of Northampton had massive seasons.
