[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 815626, member: 74121"] I'm concerned to see Sanchez and Hernandez listed as starters. Both were reported to lose consciousness and Hernandez was stretchered off the field after a head knock - which indicates it was not a minor blow. I cannot believe it is safe for him to return so soon in such circumstances. Scotland's fly half Finn Russell has been rested for five months (and counting) after a similar incident. I know both players will be desperate to play and Argentina have a chance of a historic third or even second place, but health has to come first. I'm actually going to be a bit nervous watching this when he takes contact. There is growing evidence that the major health damage from concussion is not caused by isolated incidents, but by taking further blows when you have not 100% recovered from the initial blow.
