[QUOTE="Penne Rara, post: 861648, member: 74680"] One way to try and curb concussions would be to wear these ugly facemasks football players use. They're padded on the inside and can damp the shock to a certain extent. But if everyone was wearing them, the players would go all out, and that would be even more dangerous still... I don't really see any way to protect players from concussion, but it is possible to prevent them from returning on the field and limit the effects of concussion if independent doctors were allowed to issue blue cards whenever a player needs rest and/or treatment. This has begun to be experimented but hasn't fully reached pro rugby yet. [/QUOTE]
