[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 968075, member: 56738"] Listen ‘mate’, you obviously have no comprehension of the actual situation rugby finds itself in. Due to the findings of Will Smith... sorry Dr Bennet Omalu, and others who have subsequently picked up his work, Rugby is at a precipice. If it continued in the form that it was, the game would be bankrupt by 2040 at the latest. CTE is real, and although there is no proof (yet) that it contributes to motor neuron disease, I for one wouldn’t be surprised if a correlation is eventually discovered. Right now the game is protecting itself under the guise of protecting the players (I’m a cynic sue me... not you Scotland ;)) and if it doesn’t there will be an avalanche of law suits &/ even worse we could well have a player/ex-player go full-on Chris Benoit. I get this is having a real downer on your personal enjoyment but the world isn’t there just to make you smile. [/QUOTE]
