A Tragic Time in Rugby
A teen rugby player in Ottawa died this past Sunday after suffering a head injury in a match on Saturday. Reports indicate that she had suffered other blows to the head the week before the match. Her parents hope to use her story to educate high school rugby programs and prevent this from happening in the future.
I know concussions are often joked about on this website, but taking care of them properly isn’t a joke. Remember that taking care of yourself, and especially your head, is more important than any rugby match.
Please keep Rowan and her family in your thoughts in the aftermath of this tragedy.
Rest in peace, Rowan Stringer.
