HIAs are not permitted in Scottish domestic Club competitions
Following the weekends game, we've been pondering what to post about HIAs.
For the second time this season, we've been to a West Regional game where a player has gone off with a head injury, and subsequently returned to the field of play.
On both occasions, a member of the opposition sideline queried the player returning to the field, and each time the referee replied the player had passed an HIA.
We want to point out that in domestic rugby games in Scotland, HIAs are not a thing, and that no player should be allowed to return to the field of play if they are suspected of having a concussion.

Coach & Referee Study of Concussion in Wales
A study in the September 2017 edition of the BMJ Open Sport &
Exercise Medicine from Griffin SA, Ranson C, Moore I, et al which
assessed the knowledge and experience of various aspects of concussion
among coaches and referees involved in Welsh amateur rugby union.
The study identified a number of concussion-related misconceptions, especially in regard to prevention, clinical consequences and management, and emphasises an important need for further education.
