World Rugby (formerly the IRB) that governs rugby around the world has requested a full report from the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) over the concerns about George North's apparent concussion in last night's game.
North Concussion?
Wales lost the opening game to England in a tense and narrow affair, but the main talking point after the game was how George North was allowed to continue after two apparent head knocks, the second of which appeared to knock him out.
North, who sustained the impact in the 61st minute of the match remained on the field and, having undertaken an initial review of the broadcast footage, World Rugby is seeking to establish from the WRU whether all concussion management protocols were appropriately followed.
Concussion management and education is at the heart of World Rugby’s player welfare strategy designed to protect players at all levels of the game and promote the very highest standards of education, coaching and medical care. #RecogniseAndRemove
Meanwhile, Wales have released their injury update, saying that North passed concussion protocols during the game and after the game, but will continue to be monitored.
