A few people have requested to see it again, so here is the sickening blow. /spanbr /br /O'Driscoll was stretchered off the field as a precautionary measure, making the incident look worse than it probably was, but coach Declan Kidney was quick to play down the collision.br /br /"Brian took bit of a bang. It was nothing - he was out on the pitch at the end. He's good and is enjoying the win as much as anyone," said Kidney, referring to the 20-16 win.br /br /"Brian just felt he should make Paul do the press conference to make up for him giving him a bang on the head with his knee. There's no risk of concussion. He's fine," he added.br /br /Despite the blow looking pretty severe, with O'Driscoll getting up and falling down twice afterwards, he's been cleared of further injury and will be free to play against Wales in their next match.br /br /He even managed to update his Twitter page on Sunday, the day after the match. 'Sore head but the win is worth the headache,' he said.br /br /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-style: italic;"Take a look at the related links for a few other big knees, and if you're still interested in buying tickets for Six Nations matches, you can get them at a span style="font-weight: bold;"5% discount/span through us. /spana style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.rugbydump.com/fixtures/sixnations.html"Read more here/aspan style="font-style: italic;". /spanbr //spanbr /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nj5CZQG8DUcamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nj5CZQG8DUcamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /div style="text-align: center;"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;":: Related Posts ::/spanbr //span/divdiv style="text-align: center;"span style="font-size:85%;"a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2009/07/simon-shaw-gets-two-week-suspension.html"Simon Shaw gets a two week suspension following the third Test 2009/abr //spanspan style="font-size:85%;"a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2008/03/ian-balshaws-knee-meets-rory-lamonts.html"Ian Balshaw's knee meets Rory Lamonts face 2008/abr //spanspan style="font-size:85%;"a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2007/04/simon-shaw-red-card-2004.html"Simon Shaw red card vs the All Blacks in 2004/a/spanbr //divbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span02:54/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-5334507740368625669?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=U4XQ1lijjvM:wvL5JR9u3cU:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/U4XQ1lijjvM" height="1" width="1"/ More...
