The collarbone attaches to the sternum and the shoulder blade (via the acrimon) so as far as bony anatomy goes, there should be no impact on the neck. The only thing that might is that the sternocleidomastoid muscle attaches to the top of the collarbone and originate at its attachment at the base of the temporal bone of the skull.

The knee bone attaches to the ankle bone;
The shoulder bone attaches to the thigh bone;
The hip bone attaches to the wrist bone...

Ok.
MY paranoia would stop me from playing if my neck was even in the slightest chance of getting damaged.

I didn’t think I saw you in my anatomy class!

Fair call. I think, from a neck perspective, risk vs reward, it’s probably ok. I doubt they’d play him if there was any risk.

A broken collarbone (even with surgery) will take months to repair.

I'm sure I read an interview with him that said he expected to be right for Round 22, and I see that the website predicts he'll be out for 3 more weeks (round 21??).

I've never broken a collar-bone, but friends who have tell me that the pain is excruciating but the recovery is quite straightforward.

Fingers crossed!

Was is Jared Crouch that broke a collar bone some time ago?

Didn't he dislocate his shoulder during a game and just pop it back in and play on?
Or was it his knee?

Thanks aardvark. I knew it was someone legendary and as tough as guts.
Thanks for posting the video. I won't be watching it. It made me sick the first time.

I think Tadhg may have done that a couple of times.

A true fan would share the pain.
