Concussion in Rugby, how are we handling it?
Concussion, a word that is causing massive debate in Rugby Union and the World of Sport at the moment. But what is Concussion? Lets take a look at the definition:
“Concussion is a jarring of the brain, caused by a blow or a fall, usually resulting in loss of consciousness.”
In a high impact sport like Rugby Union the chances of a player suffering a concussion are pretty high. According to Rugby Football Union data, concussion is the most common injury in the professional game, with 5.1 instances for every 1000 hours of rugby played. The reason concussion is causing so much debate is that many people involved with the game believe that players are being made to risk serious injury, or even death, by the introduction of the International Rugby Board’s pitch-side concussion assessment (PSCA) :>> http://globalrugby.com.au/news/rugby-coach/concussion-in-rugby/
