###### #####yes very sad and hard to understand as the rigarous health checks they take before playing for there countries is unbelievable......before and after the game .......but it happens also in soccer from time to time ......the big danger in the rugby is in damage to the head .....ie the oz cricketer lost his life by a head injury only last year......life is filled with danger and i must say when i hear my grandson tackle or take a tackle and hear the clash of bodies....i am always relieved to see him up and walking away
