Teenage wing sensation Noah Caluori has disclosed that he played the majority of his breakthrough season with a detached ligament in his wrist, despite achieving impressive statistics with 18 tries in 13 Premiership games and earning his England debut.

The 19-year-old sustained this injury during a match against Exeter in December when he fell heavily while contesting a high ball for Saracens. After discussions with both his club and national team coaches, Caluori made the decision to play through the pain, opting to delay surgery until the summer.

Caluori shared his experience, stating:

It would just hurt. A lot of movements hurt, I had to modify a lot of my gym plans, catching the high balls hurt. I learnt how to manage the pain. That's it, really. I came to the conclusion that I'm going to push for this... try and help us get to the play-offs.

He emphasized the role of adrenaline in coping with the injury, saying, "You just ride the adrenaline and learn to get on with it."

In July, Caluori posted an image on social media from his hospital bed, showcasing his heavily bandaged wrist.

Reflecting on his choice to continue playing, he explained, "Saracens and England gave me the freedom... they would have not let me [play] if it was too bad. I chose what I wanted to do, and then you've just got to live with your decision. I was pretty happy that I've done it."
