Well, as sara alluded to there, there has been plenty of reaction to the decision to initially overturn the ban and then world rugby s decision to appeal. Luke griggs is Chief Executive of the british Brain Injury Charity headway and hes criticised the process. I think its been a huge embarrassment to the world rugby, and i think the way this has been handled, this is a problem with our own making. Itjust adds to the confusion about what is safe and is not safe. On the Community Level is much as anything else and thats always where our major concern is because Community Support follows what they see on the big screen sent by elite level support. This is a very, very sorry state of affairs. Well, earlier i spoke with former Wales International al

I think he has a leading effect in the Dressing Room with his personality, his approach to football, his love for the game. Owen farrell will play no part in englands world cup warm up match again
