Blimey. Good decision Mr Ref: Law 8.4: For any goal to be successful, the ball must be kicked over the crossbar and between the goal posts without first touching a team-mate or the ground. Law 8.17: "If the opposition touches the ball and the kick is successful, the goal stands."

Many lessons to be learnt from Tua Tagovailoa's recent #NFL related head injury. An immediate normal concussion assessment protocol may not always recognise a #concussion. When there is other evidence, clinical judgement should supersede protocols.

Tua's first injury would have been a Criteria 1 for the player to be removed immediately and permanently from the field of play based on @WorldRugby 's protocols.

What's the appropriate hashtag for the Rajapaksa's exit? #Rajapaxit ? @GotabayaR @PresRajapaksa @RajapaksaNamal #GotaGoHome2022 #RajapaksasGoHome

Hats off to all the peaceful protestors of #GotaGoHome #RajapaksasGoHome for making @PresRajapaksa resign! Utterly disgusted by the pro-government thugs who instigated violence today! @GotabayaR, it's your turn to resign now and end any further violence! #SriLanka අරගලයට ජය!
