Shattered glass injured an NRL coach, prompting repairs at Canberra's aging stadium, as officials acknowledged ongoing maintenance needs after recent weather damages.
The shattered glass that left an NRL coach needing stitches and led Ricky Stuart to blast Canberra's "shithouse stadium" left government officials scrambling to make repairs to the ageing facility.
Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo required stitches in his hand after a window - which he says he tried to open as it began to fog up - shattered in the opposition coach's box at Canberra Stadium on Thursday night.
Officials had to race to make repairs in time for the ACT Brumbies' Super Rugby game against the Chiefs at the same venue on Friday night.
The ACT government confirmed on Friday afternoon that "necessary repairs" had been made to fix the broken glass and leaks following heavy rain.
