Edinburgh University Professor Calls for Ban on Rugby Scrums

The University of Edinburgh Centre for International Public Health Policy through Professor Allyson Pollock has called for scrums and high tackles to be banned in rugby. The next thing we will have is them asking them to ban air flights for the possibility of a crash, where would this world be if we had not taken risk. I used to respect Allyson Pollock as a sensible academic but she is really showing herself to be a total idiot. As an ex-rugby player who played in the scrum I speak from experience and it was rugby that was very influential in my life.

The survey was based on 190 rugby matches withe 37 injuries recorded with 20 taken to A&E out of those 20, 19 were discharged without admission. Is Allyson Pollock one of these people who does not want children to take any risks and be bubble wrapped from top to bottom to avoid any scrapes or grazes that they may get as a normal child? Get a life for god's sake and use our tax payers' money for looking into serious issues.
