    I’m told that some of the ‘biggest’ readings recorded in training were taken when the guys were playing around heading a football (soccer) ball.

    If that’s the case, it’s needed in footie ASAP

    It makes sense when you think about it, especially when it's wellied at the wall or at close range. Ouch.

    I've just subscribed to Premier Sports so I'll be watching (recording IF I can get a stream for the Swans) Scarlets v Ospreys and then probably Leinster v Munster. Got a few Guinness in the fridge ready <cheers>

    It's ridiculous I can't subscribe to Championship games the same way - easily and at a reasonable price.

    Wonder if the TV will focus in on the new mouth guards / gum shields that the Ospreys are using?

    They can detect concussion and/or the risk of concussion in real time.

    Both Evans and Smith were hooked recently before they were concussed - so preventative.

    If the trial works, it will be a game changer as Clubs will no longer be able to hide behind the defence of ‘ignorance’......

    Didn't know that, very interesting. Presumably they keep some sort of running total and their's got too high.

    It was a good game. The biggest difference was the penalty count - 16 to 2 to the Ospreys. Scarlets bossed the second half, Ospreys the first. Unfortunately the Ospreys didn't have the nous to convert their dominance first half into points.

    Great result and some stupid penalties aside, a great performance too from the youngsters <ok>

    Really enjoyed the Scarlets game as well, a good evening's entertainment those two games.

    Neath RFC, along with Swansea, Llanelli, et al, is writ large in the historical annals of Welsh Rugby.
    No teams ever relished visiting The Knoll, especially touring teams.

    The creation of the Regions is now having a deleterious effect on the game at large, and it will be a sad day if Neath RFC were to be wound up.
