Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie believes the investigation into the latest concussion to have seen George North stood down from play could prove a landmark moment in dealing with head trauma.Premiership Rugby and the RFU are investigating how North was allowed to return to play in Northamptons defeat at Leicester on December 3, passing a head injury assessment despite appearing to have been knocked out.The Wales wing will not return to action until he has undergone further neurological tests, but Northampton insist he did not fall unconscious and have since said they did not have pitchside access to all camera angles when examining the incident.The findings of the investigation are expected to be announced on Friday and Ritchie has promised transparency.Well you would hope so (that it will be a landmark case). I dont want to magnify a situation about one individual case, but its the right opportunity to see if there are broader lessons and principles that could be learnt, Ritchie said. Absolutely we need to look at the process and the laws and regulations around what happens.Concussion is undoubtedly one of the challenges of the game and we need to address it.If there are learnings that come out of this then we will be sharing them with World Rugby as well.I think we have to be pretty transparent about what the facts are. I cant see how we cant publish things around the review.Once the investigation has been completed, a decision will be made on whether Northampton should be disciplined.I certainly wouldnt agree with doing something on a PR-smoothing basis because this is an issue that needs addressing, Ritchie said. If it needs something to be put forward (disciplinary) then that is something that should happen in my view.Ritchie insists vigilance must dictate rugbys approach to safeguarding following the child abuse investigations to have hit football.Vigilance is the word. We have hundreds of thousands of children playing rugby on the weekend, Ritchie said. We have a centralised safeguarding unit and weve had our processes looked at by the NSPCCs Child Protection in Sport unit. Were aware of the challenges in this area and we think were doing all we can, but we need to be ever-vigilant because protection needs to be an important matter for us.

Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Jerome Boateng Germany Jersey NEW ORLEANS -- Their shared numbers are ugly and humbling.At 4-18, the Philadelphia 76ers have the worst record in the NBA and have nine healthy players.Losers of three straight games despite the presence of a league superstar, the 7-15 Pelicans own the sixth-worst record in the NBA and have the flesh wounds to prove it.So when the Pelicans host the 76ers in a match of NBA bottom-feeders Thursday night at the Smoothie King Center, its natural to assume the worst -- of both.Its very frustrating, to be honest with you, said New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry, whose team dropped a 110-108 double-overtime decision at home to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night despite Anthony Davis 28 points and 17 rebounds in 48 1/2 minutes. I just had higher expectations and thought that we would have fewer injuries, to be honest with you.The Pelicans played without point guard Jrue Holiday in the Monday loss Memphis, and his absence was deeply felt. Holiday missed the first six weeks of the season while caring for his wife Lauren, who gave birth to their first child and then underwent successful surgery to remove a benign brain tumor.When Holiday returned to the lineup, the Pelicans won a season-best five consecutive games at home, but Holiday sustained a turf toe injury during a Sunday night loss at OKC. The pain was so debilitating that Holiday could not push off on his left foot.Holidays status for the 76ers game is uncertain.I didnt know how excruciating it could be, Holiday said on Wednesday. People dont understand that when you hurt your toe, you cant do anything. If I could walk on my hands I would or if I could just cut it off it would be great.Amputation might be considered going a little bit beyond the NBAs standard players contract.While Gentry is trying to plug leaks in his lineup -- guarrd ETwaun Moore missed the Memphis game with a toe injury and forward Dante Cunningham has a broken bone in his leg -- he is hoping his players can soldier through.ddddddddddddLittle irritants have blossomed into bigger problems. The Pelicans held solid leads against Memphis at the end of regulation and at the close of the first overtime period but allowed the Grizzlies to make big shots to extend the game.Gentry took the blame for one late-game snafu -- he drew up an inbounds play that had the ball being thrown in from the opposite side of the court.One of them we drew up on the right side of the floor and the ball was on the left side, Gentry said. I take full responsibility for that. Im not going to dodge anything.Davis leads the NBA in scoring (31.6) and blocks (2.81) and is sixth in rebounding (11.4), but his heavy lifting is beginning to wear him down. He also leads the NBA in minutes played (38.0).Its just unfortunate for him because to me, hes having an unbelievable, MVP season, Gentry said. When I think about what hes done and the defenses hes faced and still the numbers hes put up -- not just offensive numbers but being able to lead the league in blocked shots and being really solid defensively -- its unfortunate.The Sixers had just nine players available in a 96-91 loss at Memphis on Tuesday night, and Jerryd Bayless (left wrist), Robert Covington (left knee sprain) and Jahlil Okafor (gastroenteritis) are not expected to join the team in New Orleans.This (was) our fourth game in five nights, said coach Brett Brown. We came down with nine guys, and youre playing against a veteran, tough, playoff-hard Memphis team. I was proud of their effort. ' ' '
