Take a bow Tom Johnstone : Tue Sep 27, 2016 2:47 pm
Having come back from a nasty injury I feared this would be the moment Tom lost his youthfull edge. I've seen it loads of times when a young player gets his first serious injury and is never the same again.However though clearly not 100% fit Tom has lost none of his desire or bravery and is as ever scoring roughly a try a game. His pace is a bit off but a good closed season and further rehab should see that return though even now he's no slouch.
I always think it's the mark of a great player that they get over injuries both physically and mentally. I'm sure it's not an easy thing to do, one open age game and a smack in the chops from a still drunk yob was enough to put me off for life.
