White returned to the pitch after a HIA last night. WALLABIES SCRUM-HALF Nic White will serve a 12-day stand down period for possible concussion after being allowed to return to the pitch against Ireland last night in Dublin.
World Rugby’s guidelines on head injury state that a player should be immediately and permanently replaced if they display any ‘Criteria 1′ symptoms of possible concussion, including “balance disturbance,” without an off-field assessment being carried out. The statement adds that White “was not exhibiting any symptoms of concussion post-match or the following day.”
“I’m 78kg running up against these blokes, mate I feel fine now. You guys can attest to that. The process, I did the HIA and passed it. I’m good.exclusive analysis Get Murray Kinsella's exclusive analysis and member-only episodes of The42 Rugby WeeklySpeaking last night, Wallabies head coach Dave Rennie said he hadn’t seen the incident.
World Rugby don’t observe they’re own laws. The ref can clearly be heard saying ‘I saw him stumble’ yet the player is given a HIA which is contrary to the law. Deep down Rugby cares more about winning than the risk to a players health. Time to cop on WorldRugby
