I want to highlight the dangers of TBI, concussion, after my 14 year old son Ben died during a rugby game.

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…

Sometimes doing the right thing is overlooked for the depth of its significance when it requires a passage of time for it to be realised. It must have been joyous but heartbreaking for Ringrose today. In time though his decision will be long remembered for more important reasons.

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

A wet day today. But heading up to Aberfeldy to #Runforrachel and support Dave and family in efforts to raise money for eating disorder charity Beat Scotland Beat in memory of his daughter.

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.

Well done Scottish Rugby and Macron New Scotland Training top 👍 Lots of great Scottish words and phrases but no more important phrase than “If In Doubt, Sit Them Out” for all to see. Education and Awareness of Concussion is key in better Player Welfare 🏉🧠

Garry Ringrose has been ruled out of the Lions’ third Test against the Wallabies. But good news for Mack Hansen, Joe McCarthy, and Sione Tuipulotu are all back in the selection mix after returning to training.

A team of clinicians at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital are working towards pro-actively identifying Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) in patients with head injuries in the emergency department. Here, we talk with occupational therapist Tiffany Lin and physiotherapist Jordan

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

This is absolutely true - massive credit to Ringrose and the support system around him for making some very tough decisions in the last couple of weeks.
