[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1177920, member: 73592"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.planetrugby.com/news/super-rugby-pacific-relax-concussion-protocol-after-all-blacks-stars-criticism[/URL] I'd need to see what the onfield check is - the HIA was introduced because onfield checks of the time were simply terrible. Since then, or course, attitudes have changed, and we know a lot more about concussion, so it's entirely possible that a better onfield check has been developed - but if so, it's passed me by. My instinct of course, is that the whole point of an HIA is as an evidence based Assessment of a potential Head Injury; not to confirm / rule out the findings of a test that's known to be useless.
