Main topic

Sport concussion guidelines

Key takeaway

Clear, staged guidance on recognising, removing, and returning athletes after sport-related concussion.

Why it matters

Sets the standard most clubs and unions lean on for head-injury policy, from Sunday league to test rugby.

My take

If you let a dazed winger ‘run it off’ because it’s a cup match, no paper can fix that, but this one leaves you with zero excuses, fight me.
