It isn't often the sport makes it into this bi-weekly and it isn't good.

STREAMING BLOOD
RUGBY union's governing bodies have been hastily changing the sport's rules to protect players from head injuries in the face of 300 lawsuits from ex-pros. But it seems a new Netflix series didn't get the safety memo.
(Cont.)

Just highlights the glorification of the violent side of the sport at a time we're trying to reduce injuries.
