I find humour in all sorts.
That does sound a bit mental in fairness. They keep going until you pass one?
They do a very quick sideline test before they assess if further testing is required. Iâd be v certain, most bigly certain, that no chances are taken with Johnny of all players
Shur its fucking lunacy. Youâd have to laugh at it.
No if you pass the first they donât go on. As theyou move through the steps a decision is made as to if you can return or not for starters, and what the post match steps are secondly. So the process is not solely designed to assess if you can go back on

Do the GAA do a HIA as a matter of interest? Genuine question

Bernard Jackman once wrote about how they used to memorise the answers to the questions so even when they were out of it they just recited off the answers to get back on the pitch. Iâm assuming things are somewhat more sophisticated now?
God no. But then its not a collision sport. It could and probably should, but I doubt its as much of an issue as it is in a professional sport like rugby.
Excellent question.
Some Canadian fella was on this week about him failing HIA and the Clermont management asking him to go back on anyway.
Yeah. Jackman was referring to a baseline test they did at start of season I think which all subsequent tests were benchmarked against.
Itâs a serious issue but v rarely do you see guys returning who shouldnât be back onâŚlike North a few weeks back
It definitely is an issue. Swinging arms, hopping off concrete hard summer surfaces etc. Rarely see a fella knocked out playing rugby where a poor technique isnât involved in one of the parties behalf either tackler or recipient
Cudmore. Absolute disgraceful stuff. They will pay a fortune for it. And all the more reason why Leinster not taking a chance with Sexton. But there is, and has been for a decade, a world of a difference how the players are treated here and in France
Do any of the frog teams give a fiddlerâs fuck about this competition ???
They do mate until they are knocked out. Montpellier were knocked out there by a team far superior to them
But they came fully loaded first 15
The third team in the Pro 12 is 54 points better than the third team in the Top Quatorze. French club rugby must be absolutely fucked.
