[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1175771, member: 86934"] And the SRU did the same with professionals and academies, with exception of the annual check, I havnt been privy to that. however if you are working in this industry you'll know how difficult it is to regulate, I've seen pro players lie on the pitch, and off it to avoid longer absences. I was referring to the wider scope of concussion around the game, it would take thousands of man hours to check on every concussion. I'm not too familiar with the Cherry case, from what I know he fell in a hotel, and was written off as a precautionary measure. He would have been eligible to play after the RTP protocol but the coaching team decided not to risk anything and gave him an extended break? You'll have to update me if I've missed anything on that. Let'nsot pretend any RU is perfect, there are Irish players in lawsuits against the IRFU now, but I would also suspect the IRFU would be incredibly cautious after the first double concussion death years ago. Does the IRFU still implement the 6 stage return model btw? So, my point is to not defend the SRU, or attack the IRFU, it's a very complex issue all unions are doing their best to rectify, but my experiences in the SRU were far better than the WRU and RFU. Sadly, my only experience of the IRFU is playing lower level in Clare, and a rejection as Bernard Jackmans replacement at UCD lol [/QUOTE]
