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.
