World Rugby has stated that it is “looking at the circumstances” of the disputed events that occurred on Saturday in Dublin. During the second half of Australia’s 13-10 loss to Ireland, Nic White was allowed to return to the field despite clear indications that he had sustained a brain injury.
White has since been remained down for 12 days and will miss the last round of the Wallabies’ visit against Ridges.
After a tackle on Mack Hansen and an accidental collision with Josh van der Flier’s boot, the scrum-half was not eliminated from the match as should have been the case, despite being clearly unsteady on his feet.
Dave Rennie’s erratic Wallabies leave him with more questions than answers | Daniel Gallan Instead, the former Exeter player was reinstated after passing a head injury assessment, which angered Progressive Rugby, a concussion advocacy group.Since then, it has been claimed that the independent matchday doctor and the Australian medical team were too busy reviewing the first tackle to catch the crucial footage of White looking dazed and stumbling.
White has not yet shown any signs of a concussion, but there are clear parallels to the incident that occurred during England’s match against Wales at Twickenham this year with Tomas Francis.The Wales prop should have been “immediately and permanently removed from play,” according to a subsequent investigation, and a number of suggestions were made to prevent similar errors in the future.
White’s absence from the Wales match exacerbates the Wallabies’ ever-increasing availability issues.There are injuries to Dave Porecki, Taniela Tupou, Hunter Paisami, Rob Valetini, and Andrew Kellaway. Bernard Foley and Will Skelton must return to their Japanese and French clubs because the match is outside the international window.
Tupou appears to be the longest absentee due to a serious Achilles injury, which may rule him out of the France Rugby World Cup the following year.
