Ulster slipped to second place on the RaboDirect PRO12 table as Treviso pulled back a 14-point deficit and scored a late equalising try. Earlier in the game centre Darren Cave had to leave the field after making two big tackles in succession.
Earlier in the game the home side lost Darren Cave to injury after he made a big crash tackle on opposite number Luca Morisi. Cave played on despite the knock, but Morisi had to be replaced.
About a minute later the Ireland capped centre, a possible successor to Brian O’Driscoll, made a second big tackle as Treviso broke out on attack.
Cave played on for another ten minutes but then had to leave the field. It has since been confirmed that he was ineligible for Ireland selection this coming weekend because of concussion.
The two tackles aren’t the biggest we’ve ever seen, but Cave’s doggedness and the fact that he stayed on makes them worth a look, especially after the amount of requests we received.
