[2022 Six Nations] England vs Wales (26/02/22)

To be fair, this is the case with 100% of medical tests - including post-mortem

Fair point, I've never heard the accuracy quantified, but it's presented as being an adequate determinant of whether it's safe for a player to continue. If this isn't the case, everyone in the game should be made aware. I should have said something like "with a high degree of certainty" rather than 100%.

It's as good as we've got.

I like to think that no-ones under the impression that it's close to 100% reliable - but then, general knowledge of medicine is execrable

I quite liked Nige as a ref but his constant criticism of incidents post retirement is getting ridiculous, I'm certain we could be critical of some of his reffing decisions.

This is a case of "be careful what you wish for" for me. I've always hated the way that referees would always fall into line and defend their colleagues decisions come what may. Now we have a (former) referee who isn't doing this, I'm still not happy! It's a function of the world we live in, but anything he comes out with is always going to come across as being said for likes.
