Sounds as though the knee fairy has paid Kinghorn a visit.

Horrible timing for him. Gutted.

Sounds like it might be okay according to the assistant coach:

“Blair Kinghorn suffered a direct blow to the knee,” the former scrum-half said.

“We don’t know if there’s a twist or not. We’ll see what the tests do. But it didn’t seem too serious.”

Great news. From what I’d read it sounded 100% like he’d be out for the rest of the season. Fingers crossed.

hope the coach is right, cos I didn't see a blow to the knee. Kinghorn jumped and turned as he came down to take a high ball, seemed to twist his knee on impacting the ground.
He was clearly worried at the time
