ADVISORY-Rugby union concussion package

With concussion becoming one of the key welfare matters in rugby Reuters has put together a package of stories examining the issue. We have interviews with Mike Carter, a leading paediatric neurosurgeon and expert in the field, Simon Kemp, the head of sports medicine at the Rugby Football Union who has long been at the forefront of concussion research, and Sean Davey, a former coach and referee who is now a Television Match official. We also have a feature on the state-of-the-art impact sensors being used by English Premiership club Saracens to monitor the effect of concussion, as well as a general overview of the issue and how it currently impacts on a game that appears to be becoming an ever-more physical contest between, bigger, fitter players.
