Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie believes the investigation into the latest concussion to have seen George North stood down from play could prove a landmark moment in dealing with head trauma.Premiership Rugby and the RFU are investigating how North was allowed to return to play in Northamptons defeat at Leicester on December 3, passing a head injury assessment despite appearing to have been knocked out.The Wales wing will not return to action until he has undergone further neurological tests, but Northampton insist he did not fall unconscious and have since said they did not have pitchside access to all camera angles when examining the incident.The findings of the investigation are expected to be announced on Friday and Ritchie has promised transparency.Well you would hope so (that it will be a landmark case). I dont want to magnify a situation about one individual case, but its the right opportunity to see if there are broader lessons and principles that could be learnt, Ritchie said. Absolutely we need to look at the process and the laws and regulations around what happens.Concussion is undoubtedly one of the challenges of the game and we need to address it.If there are learnings that come out of this then we will be sharing them with World Rugby as well.I think we have to be pretty transparent about what the facts are. I cant see how we cant publish things around the review.Once the investigation has been completed, a decision will be made on whether Northampton should be disciplined.I certainly wouldnt agree with doing something on a PR-smoothing basis because this is an issue that needs addressing, Ritchie said. If it needs something to be put forward (disciplinary) then that is something that should happen in my view.Ritchie insists vigilance must dictate rugbys approach to safeguarding following the child abuse investigations to have hit football.Vigilance is the word. We have hundreds of thousands of children playing rugby on the weekend, Ritchie said. We have a centralised safeguarding unit and weve had our processes looked at by the NSPCCs Child Protection in Sport unit. Were aware of the challenges in this area and we think were doing all we can, but we need to be ever-vigilant because protection needs to be an important matter for us. Vapormax Femme Pas Cher .

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Establishing consistency is at the core of the new-look Purdue football program under enthusiastic interim coach Gerad Parker.An inability to play with any consistency led to athletic director Mike Bobinskis decision on Oct. 16 to fire fourth-year head coach Darrell Hazell, who was 9-33, and replace him with 35-year-old Parker, who has a riverboat gamblers approach to facing No. 24 Penn State on Saturday in Ross-Ade Stadium.The Boilermakers (3-4, 1/3 Big Ten) played with energy and passion last Saturday in a 27-14 loss at No. 7 Nebraska, leading the Cornhuskers 14-10 at halftime. They will need to do it again against red-hot Penn State (5-2, 3-1), which upset then-No. 2 Ohio State 24-21 last weekend.Parker is eager to show fans and the rest of the Big Ten that Purdue is capable of back-to-back efforts that feature consistent play.I told somebody the other day that (football) is a very emotional game, and guys and teams that play at a high level are able to find that emotion each and every week, said Parker, who is also Purdues receivers coach. Thats something that weve got to understand here and do better here to get where we need to go. We did expend a lot of energy at Nebraska, and so did Penn State (against Ohio State). We will find a way. Thats my job.It wont be easy for a Purdue team that has not won consecutive games since November 2012, when Danny Hope was coach.This season, Purdue was beaten by 18 points by Cincinnati, by 43 points by Maryland and by 14 points by Iowa in games following its three victories.Purdue quuarterback David Blough said Parker is making it clear that a poor performance following a good effort no longer will be tolerated.dddddddddddd.He tells us to just let it ride, which is the best way to put it, Blough said. He is one heck of a dude. I think anybody on this team would take a bullet for him. Adversity can pull the coward out of you or show the man that is inside. Something like this can make you bitter, or it can make you better. A lot of guys have chosen to make themselves better.Linebacker JaWhaun Bentley anticipates an even better effort against Penn State.Its no secret that there was a lot that went on last week, Bentley said. We definitely were into it and ready to play at Nebraska. We have to continue to lay it on the line. There is no such thing as a moral victory. I am not a believer in that.Our practices are a lot faster now, and our technique is better, too. Were not going to decrease it. We are going to increase it. Were looking to come out and win.Game notes Parker said Tuesday that senior defensive tackle Jake Replogle, who has missed two consecutive games because of headaches, likely will return against Penn State. ...
