The Championship rugby union match between Ealing Trailfinders and Cornish Pirates was abandoned on Saturday after Ben Grubb, the Pirates back‑rower, was knocked unconscious by a high tackle and later taken to hospital.
A spectator said Grubb was seen “convulsing on the ground” after what the Pirates called a “high shot” by the Ealing prop Kyle Whyte at the Trailfinders Sports Club in west London.
