LIST: Three times Maro Itoje seriously injured opponents or teammates

One player even had to retire following an off-field clash with the Saracens lock.

A sickening, accidental collision with England teammate Itoje, as both men tackled Makazole Mapimpi, did for Sinckler and he was left sparked on the pitch during the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.

The flanker was forced to retire due to an ankle injury sustained while he was on international duty with England.

The injury occurred while partnering up with Maro Itoje in the judo exercise and Jones says he doesn’t blame the England star.

“Maro Itoje has texted me several times throughout the process. I don’t blame him at all.”

Back in 2015, Schonert was playing for Worcester Warriors in their 48-18 loss to Saracens in London.

In a tweet, Schonert told Saracens flanker Maro Itoje to "check them studs mate".

But he later acknowledged that he incurred the injury accidentally, tweeting, "Was just unlucky, but I know it wasn't intentional. Was such a privilege to play at Twickenham".
