He hid his concussions as much as possible and managed to navigate through the return to play protocols. He's screwed at 33. Memory badly affected, headaches, can't concentrate on anything for more than 30 minutes.

He estimates he had 20 concussions before he even switched to union.

This is what happens. His clubs generally did the right things and certainly took action when he finally admitted that he had been hiding a problem.
Horrific
EDIT: Doesn't reflect too well on Galthie either!!

Dear Connacht,

Look after John Cooney for us will you. As a Leinster scrumhalf, he's something of an endangered species. You should find him better than the vast majority of cr@p scrumhalves the other provinces have sent your way over the last few years.

As for Quinn Roux, if he was able to tackle when you give him back, we'd be much obliged. Ta.
