France to be investigated for use of head injury assessment protocols

"The players did have knee injuries but the independent doctor decided on the HIA," France coach Jacques Brunel said.

For the record, Gilles Garet the 'independent doctor' works with the French rugby federation & so does his son (France's NT physio). What a joke!

The current FFR is a disgrace.

For the record, the referee (s) of this match are all from English speaking nations :

Nigel Owens (Wales)

Assistant 1: Wayne Barnes (England)

Assistant 2: Paul Williams (New Zealand)

TMO: Rowan Kitt (England)

What a joke !

The current World Rugby (ex IRB) with an Irishman at his head is a disgrace.

No "English" referees doesnt means French referees ! Do you implied that in the rugby world, there are only English or French refs ???

"And correct me if i am wrong"...but please ask Jones if he will accept French refs when playing France !!!

...or Italian one when playing Italy.

...

About the HIA, lets wait for the decision of the so called World Rugby (so called because their acts are only decided by those four countries, Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales).

Ireland won the game. That's the main thing. Well done, Johnny Sexton.

hey mosaique...

Six Nations: France will not be punished for head injury assessments against Ireland.

ca you read properly, like i said ???
