Having said that I was a bit concerned when I realised that Heeney's tackle was on Hardwick, and Hardwick was the player who missed the second half with concussion. I assume the concussion must have been from a subsequent incident - it certainly didn't look as if his head hit the ground in the Heeney tackle. Can anyone confirm please?
