Rugby is a game we all love but with such a physically demanding sport comes great risks to the players involved. Unfortunately, Alex McKinnon, a Newcastle Knights player, has been dealt a career ending and severely life changing blow after being diagnosed with quadriplegia due to a dangerous tackle. There is still hope that he may recover with rehab although it will be a difficult process. I've never heard of him but it's still gut wrenching to hear something like this happening to such a young individual. Thoughts are with him and I hope he gets back to a point where he can live a normal life.
