“Jac’s a tough dude, he’s a powerful athlete, so getting in that position, I’m quite low, and that just jams you back,” said Tizzano, recalling their collision.<\/p>\n
“Having nerve damage in my neck previously, if anyone that’s had nerve damage, it’s like boiling water gets poured through from your neck all the way down your trap in your arm.<\/p>\n
“I hit my head, my nerve stuff activated, I’m gonna hold my head\u2026 so yeah, that is what happened.”<\/p>\n
Tizzano, who played for Ealing Trailfinders in the Championship during the 2022-23 season before moving back to his homeland and forcing his way into the Wallabies squad, said Morgan had sought him out after Australia’s victory in the third Test in Sydney the following weekend.<\/p>\n
“He came up to me straight away and actually spoke to me, and said, ‘mate, I hope you’re good, I thought you had an awesome tour and you’re a great player’,” said Tizzano.<\/p>\n
“I really appreciated him, he didn’t have to do that, but he’s the number seven, he gets it. He gets the weekly grind of what you have to put your body through, even just when you’re training.”<\/p>\n
Tizzano has made four appearances for the Wallabies since the end of the Lions series, most recently starting their 19-15 win over Japan last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Jac’s a tough dude, he’s a powerful athlete, so getting in that position, I’m quite low, and that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4102],"tags":[4151,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-555210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115508757427649258","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
