As any fan of American football knows, while the sport is still immensely
popular, there have been concerns and a host of lawsuits recently about
the health of players who have suffered repeated concussions. Now similar
health worries are being raised about the possible dangers facing young
people playing rugby.
.
The concern was underlined recently by two incidents. In one, George
North, a 22-year-old wing for Wales and Northampton Saints, above, missed
last Saturdays European cup match in France after suffering two
concussions in seven weeks. Rugby union suspended Norths opponent, Wasps
player Nathan Hughes, for three weeks for the tackle.
.
In another, less noticed incident, Connor Lynes, a 14-year-old from Hull
in East Yorkshire, collapsed in a coma earlier this month a few hours
after he was tackled during an under 15s rugby league match. He had a
bloodclot on the brain and his recovery prospects were not clear.
.
As these two injuries illustrate, rugby is facing some immense challenges
that should be considered by parents of younger children.
