Rory Lamont: I was forced to play whilst injured

[IanD]

Amazing interview and to think he had 16 operations during his playing career. I shudder to think how players will be in 20 to 30 years time.

Rory Lamont: Injury 'ticking time bomb' claims to be probed

Shocking stories about concussions that still dont seem to be heeded - you just have to look at George Smith during the Lions match.

Forgive me on what's a very serious topic, but I read that thread title as "I was forced to play whist injured!".

I myself have been forced to play this cruel card game on more than one occasion at fund raising events called 'whist drives' and I can testify to the truma that occurs when your elderly partner eats the head off you for trumping her ace- or something....?

Sorry- it is a serious issue and I think that we in Ireland have been as complicit as any country in hiding from taking responsibility for its effects.
