She squeezed a cut, let’s say her eyebrow, together and applied butterfly bandages to hold it together. She probably needed stitches, but…the game!

Okay that makes far more sense, my first thought was what the hell is she cutting down the middle to fold open?

Ha! You kitchen too. Yeah, sorry about that. I’ve always heard using butterfly sutures called “butterfly-ing”. Don’t even think of the confusion it would cause.

Although…if you look at some of the tales folks are posting about their rugby injuries, I wouldn’t put it past someone to fillet a limb if it somehow meant they could get back in the game quicker.

Please not the cyanoacrylic glue. Yes, it will close any wound. It will also poison you. And permanently stick your hand to your wound.
