England team doctor criticised for referee comments in Bristol winger Deago Bailey incident

Italy produced a shock 6-0 win over England in the U20 Six Nations on Friday night, underlining the progression made in Italian rugby in recent years.

However, the occasion was marred by an incident late on in the game after Bristol winger Deago Bailey suffered a head injury in the 76th minute.

The 19-year-old was seen to be holding his head after an awkward fall while competing for the ball in the air and was checked by the England medical team who deemed him to be fine despite protocol stating that all head injuries must be subject to a head injury assessment (HIA).
