"Talking absolute sh***" - Austin Healey triggered fans with his opinion on controversial issue

“At a time when we are making great progress in UK-wide concussion management across grassroots sport, it is so important this progress isn't undermined by elite sport focusing on results over welfare,” said Stewart. “Unfortunately, some sports just seem unable to read the room or recognise damage their actions can lead to, both for individual players and wider (particularly youth) participants and participation.”

“Healey spouting absolute nonsense to dismiss discourse over Curry as ‘social media tosh.’ Passed protocols, yes, but should they have permitted his selection? Rightly put in his place about the expertise involved.”

“Healey spouting some ridiculous shite about Tom Curry and the concussion issue.”

“We know enough that whether he meets protocols or not, it is unnecessary for him to play. There is other talent that could and should be blooded. Often agree with Austin, but way off on this!”
