[QUOTE="Crash Hamster, post: 1116597, member: 84693"] "Yeah, I can be pretty rude when people predicate an argument on something that simply isn't true. Tell you what - prove me wrong. Prove that these people exist in the conversation about rugby. Find all these people who make Allyson Pollock look like a -highly influential) danger-lover" Those were your additional words, I didn't edit my quote. Yes, I'm completely correct about the stated aims of BRAKE. I have no idea whether they're cynics or zealots, but it's just the sort of nonsense we don't need in rugby. Whether it's there currently or not, we will certainly see people cynically adopting such attitudes in order to win court cases. I've been involved in the investigation of a case where the prevalence of certain conditions in the general population compared to in a specific group was key to its outcome, but the epidemiology of brain injury and rugby players is going to be considerably more complex. If anyone* tries to exploit this, it will be an existential threat to rugby. * This will be someone with financial gain in mind, who also has some knowledge of epidemiology and statistics. [/QUOTE]
