This is bad. Tua should not be cleared to return after this after his head hit the ground and he stumbled after he got back up. #concussion

Rugby's governing body in Ireland has reacted to the concussion lawsuit case that has begun in the Dublin High Court. #IrelandRugby #concussion rugbypass.com/news/irfu-stat…

This case - in a country that doesn’t have class actions - is a huge step. Players deserved better. Players were failed by the game #rugby

Rugby's legal case will hinge on whether it can be shown on balance of probability that bashing your head (brain) repeatedly can heighten risk of long-term neuro-degenerative problems and extent to which senior administrators knew this. So the causation "debate" is a sideshow.

“Progressive Rugby respectfully require answers from Wallabies after a player who exhibited category 1 symptoms of brain injury (Nic White) was not permanently removed from the game between Ireland and Australia on…1/2

……19th November, 2022. White, clearly unsteady and dazed, instead underwent a HIA and was returned to the field. This is unacceptable and further deepens our concern about the HIA protocol and whether it is fit for the purpose of properly protecting players.”

And on and on it goes. Rugby medics still unaccountable 10 years after claiming ‘honest, we didn’t know consequences’. The lies are stacking up.

Niamh Mitchell Alix Popham It’s a shocking decision considering what had seemed like growing understanding of the risks and damage of brain injuries…. Worrying message to the volume of under age players watching that happen tonight.

I see HIA at its worst again. Player not removed when clear brain injury. How can medics allow him to play on? Winning should not be at all costs!

What happened last night is not an isolated incident, it is one we see repeatedly and will continue to see until the governing body is forced to change. #rugby #playerwelfare #concussion
