Sorry for this very nice young gentleman - hope he recovers 100% and can proceed with his career.

I see Ben Smith and George North are also showing concussion problems. Are players being rushed back ti soon?

Brave boy, I remember him in one of his first tests at 10 against the ABs tackling low and bringing down the loosies who thought he was an easy target. Just too many injuries, he would be wise to stop.

The Boks need to look out for CJ Stander the next time they play the Irish. That fat prop who could not make the Lions starting team, has been getting way to clever.
Let's see how he likes getting tackled without the ball, with his arms up and defenceless.

Lambie has the physical strength, the talent and the heart ... but not the body to endure the punishment.
Makes me think of Charlie Weir back in the day. Everything to go far except the chin.
Very sad.
I think Pat Lambie is done for ... at least at test level.

My heart goes out to Lambie, but I also think it is wise for him to quit.
Played against his grandfather (Nic Lab - he was the hooker for Rovers/Natal/England in his day and was a through gentlemen as Patric Lambie has shown both on and off the field.
CC have to agree with u that body cannot endure this type of punishment forever.
Regarding Charlie Weir.....I attended the boxing event at New Kingsmead the night Charlie took on Tap Tap and was amazed at the punishment Charlie endured prior to the knock-out.
Thinking back it seems like just yesterday.....but alas it ain't.

Rather a pundits box than a wooden one but lets not right him off just yet. Might be that he just takes it easy for a lil while, family stuff and gets well. Shame really.
