Wales' Dan Biggar suffered a bizarre injury during Toulon's Top 14 loss to Perpignan yesterday.
Recently retired from international duty, Biggar was playing his first match since Wales' World Cup quarter-final loss to Argentina last month.
Dan Biggar Collapses During Goal Kick For Toulon
The out-half made a great start to the game when he spotted an unmarked Charles Ollivon on the wing, and put him over for a try with a deft cross-field kick off a penalty.
However, while taking the conversion Biggar collapsed to the ground after suffering a back spasm and was substituted off.
It is unclear how serious the injury is, but we are hoping for a speedy recovery for the legendary 34-year-old out-half.

"To be brutally honest, my body has started to feel more like a 33-year-old’s in the last 12 months," Biggar wrote about his retirement in his Daily Mail column last August.
"I still feel great on the pitch but the recovery days and the days off are getting a little harder.
"I’m not as durable as the teenager who turned up to his first camp in 2008 and got a b******ing from Alan Phillips, the team manager, for arriving in flip-flops!
"I’ve always wanted to stop on my own terms. If I don’t retire myself then I know I will get pushed out eventually. Sam Costelow is coming through — it’s his moment now. I have seen so many great players get phased out by injury or selection and I didn’t want that to happen to me."
