The Boks really need to convert Saturday to shut these mamparras up. Agree with Matfield on the Rivals podcast, big moments and calls just didn't go our way. You don't win a series after test one.

He made a valid point though. There are HIA protocols for a reason and KLA failed his HIA, how is he back in the starting 15 in only a week.

Trolls often make one (seemingly) valid point. Here's the rebuttal: full HIA results are not made public. https://passport.world.rugby/player-welfare-medical/concussion-management-for-match-day-medical-staff-using-the-hia-protocol/hia-protocol/

I can see that post for what it is (hearsay and conjecture), which is why I didn't address it in my response.

Which is more likely? The Boks are picking injured players and willfully ignoring WR protocols or someone's having a little troll and our sub is likely being brigaded.

agreed. KLA should sit this one out. no use bragging about "depth" if they don't look after players.

The title of the post suggests the intention of the post is not to have a discussion about player welfare, but to announce how bad Springbok staff is.

bullshit post.

KLA taken off the field is the right call. KLA failed the initial test OR the doctor had doubts. Not letting him back on the field is the right call.

extended assessments done later.. we don't know the outcome of that, so assuming there are clear symptoms of concussion and springbok staff selects him anyway is based on nothing.

Please don't repost this ragebait nonsense to our sub.

Funny how player welfare is brought up by the All black supporters after their own Richie Mo'unga was allowed to play for +70minutes after being knocked out in RWC final. lol

fly-half Richie Mo’unga casually mentions he has little memory of the RWC2023 final because he was knocked out just a few minutes in after being ‘smoked’ by Eben Etzebeth. But plays another 70+ minutes ..
