I'd just do the tests myself though epper:

We have 40k race in our blood?



But in all fairness that is not a test that you would do in A&E/ED.
That's a test you would use in conjunction with CT,MRI and nerve conductivity to help diagnose what kind of MS your dealing with.
Think of it as a brain version of a troponian cardiac enzyme markers but take a lot longer to show.

What's 3 weeks after all?

The time it takes for Arsenal to lose touch with the premiership title contenders year after year - usually in February.

Was he assessed using the new approved RFU pitchside assessment system?

The basic answer is obvious.

You know that the Physio who assessed him pitch side says he was concussed.

You have no choice but to keep him out of all rugby for the requisite period. At a minimum tell the parents in writing that it is mandatory that he doesn't play

If he plays for your team within the timescale, you will get zero support from the RFU if something goes wrong, in fact they will crucify you. The other people who are likely to crucify if you let him play and there is an adverse consequence are the assertive parents!! They will likely suddenly forget all the discussions and blame it all on you!

FWIW, I advise all parents of a concussed player( under my coaching wing) to insist the hospital scan their son, and if the hospital decline to do so, then show them this to change their mind !

As usual you are forgetting the risks involved in a CT scan. In the order of 1 in 7000 people who have a CT scan will develop a tumour as a consequence of the radiation used. That's why hospitals only scan people who need it rather than because the "parents insist"
