So is concussion a problem in rugby? If so, is it as big of a deal as it has become now in football?


Concussions are a big thing in that there is a concentrated effort in identifying concussions and handling them properly. Being a contact sport, there will always be concussions but the frequency compared to football is not as high due to the tackling technique and being less willing to throw your head into an full speed 200 lb dude without a helmet.
