Nothing to see here apparently…….or that’s what @WorldRugby would have you believe. Quarter of World Rugby’s test group of ex-players ‘at risk’ of cognitive problems. Not surprising sadly, but again what are they doing about it ! 🏉🧠😢😡 theguardian.com/sport/2025/apr….

Still trying to get my head around how refereeing team got this so badly wrong on the night. Subsequent three match ban still feels very light but how on earth was it only deemed yellow at the time? bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-un…

The 20-minute red is a pox on the game, but no red of any kind for this is just unacceptable. Rugby’s gone down a dark road on this stuff

If rugby wants to be serious about concussion and head injuries, it has to always be a red card if a player is headbutted off the ball - especially while they're lying defenceless on the floor. Needless and dangerous. Ridiculous decision making by the ref. #FRAvSCO #6nations2025

Ok. A player chose to react, after the whistle, by launching himself at an opponent. This resulted in a flying headbutt. The bunker review has considered this, in isolation and all on their own, and decided it’s not even a soft 20min red card. Great message guys. Super job.

Just watching the France v Scotland game. When did a flying head butt to another player’s head warrant only a yellow card?

Fascinating watching the U20s live in CAP - on the terrace. They all tackle so low as a unit. They're the first generation of 'below-the-sternam' to come through. And it really shows. Super effective.

Rugby’s dangerous self-delusion - brilliant to have ⁦@PlantedSam⁩ writing an evidence-based riposte to Sam Warburton’s recent claims that rugby’s dwindling playing numbers were down to media “scaremongering” and “clickbait” journalism. newstatesman.com/culture/sport/…

@PlantedSam Terrible news about the injury but having watched it back I don’t think there was any intent there.

Desperate news about Dupont if 9 months out is right. Serious questions to be asked about the circumstances in which the injury happened. Whatever the outcome, remember a young man’s livelihood is now potentially at stake and a large part of his world has just collapsed.
