Getting back on the pitch today also means getting another chance to wear my tribute to Siobhan. Especially during the world cup which I know she'd have been tearing up the pitch at #RememberSiobhan

To ignore repetitive brain injuries and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and solely place mental health at the centre of this discussion, does not acknowledge or honour those who have passed too suddenly and too soon with a degenerative brain disease. 🧠🏉😡😢

Footy star reveals the horror impacts of concussion at just 33: 'I haven't slept without assistance for three years' 😞😢😡🙏❤️🏉🧠 ⁦@WorldRugby⁩ https://t.co/n7njoAK7QU

I appreciate the opportunity to raise public awareness about CTE. Those of us who know at first hand the devastation it causes are committed to safeguarding all players.

Had these protocols been in place our beautiful daughter would be here. We could have hid under the covers & allowed our grief to destroy us but we are Siobhan's proud parents. This is the legacy she leaves behind, a safer future for all who participate in sports #remembersiobhan

We need to remember why change is needed. Siobhan would still be with us if the real dangers of concussion were made known 💔💜

[Progressive Rugby @ProgressiveRug]

Breaking News:

Scotland will become one of the first countries in the world to acknowledge women may be at higher risk of concussion - with a requirement for a longer period of recovery.

@AndrewW93733842 @AlixPopham @WorldRugby We're shortly meeting @scotgov let's see if they'll blindly follow the 'see no evil' mantra or actually listen, acknowledge & make changes equalling safer contact sports for all. We will see. Anything less is an insult to those who've avoidably lost their lives & those suffering

Elite athletes are loved ones too
#rememberSiobhan

[Progressive Rugby @ProgressiveRug]

It’s 2024.

Yet…

🧠Elite players can still return 7 days after a diagnosed concussion

🤕High speed head collisions aren’t resulting in precautionary removals

🔄1/10 HIA fails are overturned allowing players back on the field

🟥Unions want lesser sanctions for head contact

[Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. @ChrisNowinski1]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience after rugby @ShaneAChristie. @ConcussionLF is excited to help you and all NZ athletes fighting #concussions and concerned about #CTE after Billy Guyton's diagnosis.

[Ann Taylor @Ann_Taylor8]

@jamie_stewart93 @InverleithRugby Thank you Jamie 💜

[Jamie Stewart @jamie_stewart93]

Finally back on the pitch with @InverleithRugby today away to Gala YM. Another fantastic chance to get to pay tribute to Siobhan and her legacy, especially since the women's 6 nations kicks off today which I know she would have been tearing up 💪 #remembersiobhan

[Progressive Rugby @ProgressiveRug]

Breaking😔

The brain of Blues & NZ Māori halfback Billy Guyton, who died last year aged 33, had stage 2 chronic traumatic encepahlopathy (CTE).

It makes Guyton the first NZ-based pro diagnosed with the condition associated with repetitive brain injuries.
