    I'll put this in here, as it was the RFU who totally stuffed up their change management. Good article

      The issue here is perception versus medical expertise. As a ref we're supposed to take guidance from medical staff, although are still free to send someone from the field (and then they can't return). The video isn't long enough for me and my limited experience/ knowledge to come to a meaningful conclusion.

      And I doubt many modern medical staff would risk sending a concussed player back on the field.

          Israel is in the northern hemisphere (as is Mexico) so guess this belongs in here. There has been no mention of the specific reasons why the Israeli team has been booted out.

            @Higgins It's clearly a political decision. I think we should leave it at that in this thread.

                    @MiketheSnow 192 weeks, is that all? Generally physically abusing a referee in NZ is an automatic life ban.

                        It's his second ban for it except the previous time it was a criminal offence!

                              @Daffy-Jaffy oh I do like this:

                              Encouraging evasion by the ball carrier has been shown to reduce head injury risk

                              Who would've thought if the tackler is evaded then there's no risk of a head injury?
