Bournemouth fly-half Adam Davis said the game of rugby takes a back seat when injuries like the one which happened to Mike Haines occur.
With five minutes left of The Lions’ 34-15 South West Premier bonus-point win over Exeter University last Saturday, replacement Haines appeared to get his leg stuck in the Chapel Gate turf. 
The result was a lengthy halt to proceedings while medical personnel attended to the injured player, but Davis said the final score was irrelevant.
Davis said: “It all came from my terrible, terrible drop goal but I really feel for Mike because it was just one of those things where your leg just gets trapped in one of those awkward positions.

“I know about it all too well because in January of this year I had pretty much the same thing happen to me and managed to tear my hamstring but that was even worse.
“I really wish him such a speedy recovery, because he is such a nice guy and he is a new player for us this year.
“But he has really got stuck in after only joining us in the summer and he was playing against his old team Exeter and it could not have happened to a better bloke and I feel really, really bad for him.
“Luckily we have got really brilliant physios such as doctor Mat Baker, and they were there straight away and we managed to get some pain killers in him but I really wish the best for him.
“It marred the game but we are not thinking about that now, we are obviously only thinking about Mike now.”
The Lions secured a perfect nine wins out of nine in the fifth tier of English rugby on Saturday thanks to first-half tries from Sam Hardcastle, Joe Rees and Freddie Gleadowe.
Despite two of those scorers plying their trade behind the scrum, the fly-half paid tribute to the guys up front for laying the foundations for victory.
Davis added: “I thought the forwards were so good and the scrum is such a weapon for us this year.
“Our lineout was really solid and I thought in the backs we played some really good stuff in parts so we were really pleased and now we march on.”
