Got to be less likely to get concussion with a head guard as opposed to none?
It doesn't seem like it. I had a quick google and it won't really stop your brain bouncing around inside your skull.

If I remember right, the research in the NFL shows the opposite. When players have headgear, it gives them a false sense of security and they go into more extreme tackles.Got to be less likely to get concussion with a head guard as opposed to none?

Interesting. Thanks.If I remember right, the research in the NFL shows the opposite. When players have headgear, it gives them a false sense of security and they go into more extreme tackles.
Am I going mental or is there a faint beeping noise. Like 3 beeps, really high pitched in the background? Intermittently.
I just had to go through and check the fridge wasn’t left open.
Yeah, it's your brain bashing against the inside of your own skull that's the issue.Interesting. Thanks.
Nah it stopped when I muted the tv. Either there’s something in the background of the commentary bit or I’m about to smell toast and have a seizure.Delivery van outside reversing?

I’m at the pub with my very Welsh mate and his even welsher stepdad and I want to kill myself

I switched this on late. Are Wales worth this lead?

My daughter met this lad on New Years Eve and they’ve been messaging and he asked her on a date (sounds old fashioned but he did).I’m at the pub with my very Welsh mate and his even welsher stepdad and I want to kill myself

Lad “shall we get something to eat?”. Daughter “yes, that sounds good”
Lad “with alcohol?” Daughter “yeah fine”
Lad “great, I’ll reserve a table at the pub on Saturday… we can watch the rugby”
Little does he know she actually likes rugby (I’ve brought her up to) and she’s got her Welsh top on under her smart jumper.
And he couldn’t be worse than the last two… both City fans!
Does it not absorb some of the impact?Yeah, it's your brain bashing against the inside of your own skull that's the issue.
This is the main reason for the lowering of the tackle height, although the counter argument is the risk of more knee-to-head injuries for the tackler.

It's the whiplash effect to your head that makes your brain rattle around that's the issue.Does it not absorb some of the impact?
Thanks, that's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about.
Yes, slightly but really limits exterior damage. So that makes you take more hits. That's the argument in boxing anyway
Those massive gloves are also supposed contribute to concussions. It's safer with the MMA style gloves.
Yeah, same logic. But my preference would be neither, ta.
No gloves at all or no hitting each other?
This again ⬆. Ridiculous30 seconds to set a scrum then whistle to reset. Rugby has to sort that, losing 5-10 mins a match
Some kick there for the 50/22Reckon Ford's entire kicking rhythm has been thrown off by the earlier incident.
That was a brutal effort, even if it was an extremely difficult angle.
Today is turning into an absolute shite day.
Oh yeah, superb out of hand. I mean place kicking.Some kick there for the 50/22
