BBC Scrum V's pitchside reporter Phil Steele may have survived interviewing Aun Wyn Jones live on air after the Ospreys' defeat in Leinster last night, but he couldn't quite make it back to Welsh soil completely unscathed.

The popular former rugby player, who is known for his brilliant after dinner speeches, suffered a nasty looking head wound after injuring himself getting off the plane as the Scrum V team flew back from Dublin.

And, while undoubtedly offering him support, his colleagues couldn't resist sharing his misfortune with rugby fans around Wales in a series of humorous tweets.

Steele was tended to by medics after arriving at Cardiff Airport and was declared fit for work ahead of this afternoon's Principality Premiership clash between Pontypridd and Merthyr.

He said on Twitter: "First time in history a pitchside reporter has had to undergo a HIA."
