Committee backs referee in concussion row

The Leinster’s Schools Rugby Committee has come out in support of referee Garry Glennon after an investigation into the controversial concussion incident during last month’s Leinster Schools Senior Cup match between Cistercian College Roscrea and Gonzaga College.

The game made headlines after a Gonzaga player suffered a suspected head injury and the referee ordered him to be removed from the field, in accordance with protocols at schools level.

However, a Gonzaga medic argued otherwise before the player was eventually substituted.
