Dislocation of fingers and other joints is fairly common in rugby.
The shape of the ball, as well as the insane physicality on show every time players cross the whitewash means incidents of dislocation are fairly common.
Thankfully medical personnel are well equipped to deal with the issue and rugby players are usually tough men who can deal with the pain.
But you don't often see players at any level asking team-mates to 'pop' the troubled joint back into place like Juan Imhoff did this afternoon.
The Argentina international is featuring for his country's Sevens side in the weekend's action in London when he suffered the injury against France today.
He called over a team-mate to help re-set it, which is probably not best medical practice.

Another top performance! Our Ireland player ratings as Andy Farrell’s men put in a six-try performance to defeat Scotland. Tom O’Toole – 8.5 The Ulsterman’s switch to loosehead looks to be paying real dividends with another great showing in the scrum, the highlight of which was an early penalty that led to Jamie Osborne’s try.

It’s all to play for today! Ireland welcome Scotland to the Aviva Stadium this afternoon in the final round of the 2026 Six Nations, with both sides in with a chance of winning the title. The Scots are joint with France on points and a win would put huge pressure on Les Bleus against England […]
