Tom Curry has backed rugby’s new concussion protocol after a shocking episode in the NFL put sport’s treatment of head injuries back in the spotlight.
Curry was on England duty yesterday for the first time since leaving the summer tour of Australia early following a third concussion in six months.
His return came in the week Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered concussion in a game played just five days after he appeared to show concussion symptoms following another hit to the head.
