Wallabies star Scott Fava is expected to be released from hospital today after spending the night undergoing tests for a head injury he suffered in Australia's loss to Fiji in the bronze medal match of the rugby 7s tournament at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
Fava clashed heads with a Fijian player during Australia's 24-17 defeat and began convulsing on the field.
He was taken from the field on a medicab and later taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Tests on the Force player have so far come back all clear.
Australian team manager Gary Pearse said Fava suffered a second knock to the head when he fell to the ground.
"It didn't look good at the time but I think we have the best people there to look after [him].
"Unfortunately, I think there could have been a head clash and then I think he hit the ground with his head at the back. Unfortunately, that just happens in the game."
Pearse said such injuries were to be expected in elite sport.
"That was a really hard match and those things happen in a game," he said.
"It wouldn't matter if it were rugby or any other sport, when the head hits the ground, it could be skateboarding, it could be whatever, and Scottie's a tough bloke."
