Ben Robinson Good thing that Ringrose cares more about himself than he does rugby. Disappointing for him but you get one life to live and he’s made a massive decision concerning his. Would’ve gone unnoticed otherwise. #NotWorthIt Life more important and quality of life even more so 👏👏👏👏


Also for The Observer - why Garry Ringrose's honesty this week regarding his concussion symptoms feels so significant. Ben Robinson: "He has probably done more to raise awareness and educate regarding brain injuries in rugby than years of campaigning." observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

Ben Robinson My moment of the tour.


I played rugby from primary school until I gracefully retired, aged 35. If you care about this amazing sport, please read this and join the fight. We shouldn’t be taking our sporting enjoyment at the expense of players’ brain injury. Alix Popham

Ben Robinson Andrew Watkins Definitely. Fair play to him. I’m sure that wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one.


Well said, Daniel Lloyd. How we’ll miss this crew. They’ve been incomparable companions, judging the tone perfectly, Tour after Tour. Huge gratitude to them.




Progressive Rugby A different take would be that a player self identified a serious injury and despite the opportunity to play in possibly the biggest game of their career that might never come around again. That’s an enormous cultural shift
