Physio Chris Jenkins, The Rugby Injury Physio, joins The Rugby in Europe Round-Up live with Carl and Pasc. He talks about his Game Ready index for medical rooms, why 4G pitches hit older forwards hardest, why the same knee injury tends to be worse on 4G, the mistakes amateur players make with injuries, why two weeks off is enough in the off-season, the words that get a rugby shoulder seen quickly, the night the invasion of Ukraine ended his time with Russia rugby, and his new book, Rugby Injury Prevention & Return to Play.
Chris is at the Match for Mental Health at Cardiff Arms Park this Friday.
