Bisthamin, a gifted back-row forward and a product of St. Anthony's College, Katugastota has been unconscious for most of the past fortnight due to the severity of the head injury but according to hospital sources the loose forward is constantly under the supervision of doctors being put under a life supporting system in the wake of his freak accident.
