Good strategy on leather helmets. How many concussionsa with rugby players? I played for 10 years and you could tell who the the newbies were. Thet would always lead with their head but only their first practice. They learned how to tackle after that.

With the players continuing to get faster and stronger; but not the human skull; something needs to be done.

It seems like the concussion thing is very real. Sad to read about some of these former players condition.

I hear repeating oneself is a sure sign of too many concussions.
