And hit the turf he did, as the thump on the ground would have done him no favours, meaning his immediate removal from the park.br /br /He suffered concussion and while there were concerns over him not being able to play in the big game against England this coming weekend, he has since been included in the match day 22, and his start will depend on his visit with a neurologist.br /br /This knock, while it was horrible to watch, reminds me of a few others we've seen over the years. Strangely enough all three come from down under, which is fitting as they coined the phrase 'Falcon' after all.br /br /The most memorable are those knocks to Cory Jane and Kurtley Beale, and then there was a poor referee last year who happened to get in the way of a clearing kick, taking the full brunt of it.
