Following-on from my previous posts, in the #WALvSCO game, George North (who has a long history of bad concussions) appeared to suffer a reduced level of consciousness due to head contact. He was not immediately taken off but allowed to play on for the next passage of play. Then he was taken off for an HIA.
That should have been his game done, but he's back on at the start of the second half.
Rugby has to get serious about head injuries. The frameworks and directives are not fit for purpose.

@gwilym Tachwedd 3 was #WALvSCO which was basically #KenOwensvScotland. They had to bring him back on twice. 🏉 🚚
Wales 21-10 Scotland Cheek to cheek from Steff Evans... Whistle blows, Wales starts the Autumn with a win. Only one score in the second half, lots of excellent defense from the Reds, could have been more on the attack.Hopefully more to come from a powerful if disjointed Welsh team. Scotland had a lot of opportunities but let themselves down with half hearted passes that killed the phases and slowed the game down. #WALvSCO
Wales 21-10 Scotland Anscombe and Morgan have been everywhere they needed to be, but the ball refuses to participate. First cap for Cardiff Blues' Jarrod Evans. Darcy Graham firsty cap for Scotland. Tipuric and Lydiate have been workhorses today, but nothing to write home about. #WALvSCO
Wales 21-10 Scotland Scotland have spent a lot of time popping into the Welsh 22, only to be told to come back later. Horne over the line with a potential catch on a kick from other Horne... ball lost forward, no try. And back for yet another penalty advantage we go.#WALvSCO
Wales 21-10 Scotland Spirited play from Scotland. Hovering arounf the 5 metre line, Hornes everywhere. And another penalty advantage for Scotland Elliot Dee Offside. Elliot Dee Offside again. Elliot Dee gets 10 on the sideline... #WALvSCO
Wales 21-10 Two more subs for Scotland. George Horne at 9 Looks like Rob Evans on for Wales, Ken Owens off. Great game for Ken today. Elliott Dee jumps in to he front row too
#WALvSCO
Wales 21-10 Scotland Scrappy blue movement to the line, ball held up, back to the penalty... Jonny Gray wriggles for a try, is it double movement? TMO says... short, and double movement, no try #WALvSCO
Wales 21-10 Scotland little bit of work for Luke Morgan, not seen much of him to day but when needed he's performed admirably. Scotland has energy and hunger, but no answers to Welsh defence. Scotland changes their front three to try something new #WALvSCO
Wales 19-10 Scotland Try: Clean work through the passes gets Jonathan Davies over the line #WALvSCO
