[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 819904, member: 58362"] Sorry for the bump [USER=20605]@smartcooky[/USER]. I was interested to read the above paragraph, it relates to a situation in a level three match in England in which there was a difference of opinion about a player's safety to play on. The player received a knock to the head and was observed to have been unconscious by the touch judge, the team doctor conducted a HIA (it was called this despite the fact that as non-elite rugby, they aren't sanctioned to use one) and assessed the play as fit to play on, the referee (correctly according to my understanding) disagreed and forced the player off. Based on what you say above, am I correct in thinking that any player at any level who has been unconscious should be removed from the field of play permanently? Do you have any links to the relevant guidelines for doctors and referees please? In particular, those that relate to the doctor's responsibility in this situation. Thanks in advance for your help.
