Re: Is this the end for rugby?

Genuine question but how come boxing and MMA get away with it? What’s the stand down time in boxing after a knockout? In amateur boxing 28 days of no training whatsoever and that's if there was any stoppage in a fight or sparring, not necessarily if you were knocked out, anything deemed a serious w...
