[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 730971, member: 71618"] It's the "he'll be right" attitude a lot of players have. No he's not an idiot and I'm sure the doctors have told him, but he probably can't stand wearing head gear. But there's nothing wrong in taking measures to limit the hits in the head. Keeping the sport safer and risk free of serious injury is common sense. Professional Rugby is still young and the hits are a lot harder and bigger than they were 15-20 years ago because the players are. So the real fallout of a lot of these injuries is still yet to be seen, but there's real cause for concern for players later in life. They're already at risk from the games natural concussions, let alone illegal ones. [/QUOTE]
