Tragically it would be his last.

Concussion is a Brain Injury.
No HIA in Amateur Rugby.
Any suspicion at all-you remove.
No Maddocks type questions on the pitch.
No Eye tracking with the finger.
If you want to test a kid for Concussion become a Dr and work in A&E.
Leave diagnosing Concussion to the experts.

Attended a Rugby tournament yesterday.
2 x 14 yr olds clashed heads.
Both stayed down holding heads.
Both removed from play permanently, monitored and advice given to parents.
Phoned last night to check up all ok.

Never ever let a kid play on with a Brain Injury/Concussion.
No HIA in Schools Rugby.
No Maddocks questions on the pitch.
No asking a kid with a Suspected Brain Injury “are you ok to play on ?”
No game worth it.
No result worth it.
All players need protected from themselves.

The reason we as Benjamins family are so passionate about Concussion/Brain Injury Awareness is we don’t want any other family to feel like this.
We can’t prevent Concussions happening but we can prevent the mismanagement of them.
Education is crucial.
It’s not just a wee knock.

There are no tests in schoolboy rugby.
It’s always been Recognise and Remove not Diagnose and Remove.
If you feel confident enough diagnosing Brain Injuries on a pitch start working in ICU.
Never take the word of a suspected brain injured player. 👍

The highs of yesterday and then the lows of today.
That emptiness that only Ben can fill.
Benjamin was just a 14 yr schoolboy Rugby player.
The vast majority of players come from grassroots and are at the age that experts consider more vulnerable to brain injury.

Nearly 10 years now trying to raise awareness.
Bens inquest Madame Coroner stated “Ben passed all the tests and was keen to play on” often wonder why no one asked the question “What test was there in schoolboy Rugby in 2011 ?”

Folks please stop testing kids on the pitch to see if they are fit to return to play.
If you’re testing you have obviously seen a sign or symptom of brain injury.
That’s enough just remove them.
It’s not “If In Doubt test them”
There is No HIA in community Rugby.
