Concussion could end Suaalii’s Super Rugby season as Lions series looms
@Source: smh.com.au
Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii may have played his last game for the Waratahs this season after he sustained at least the fourth concussion of his short career in his side’s 28-21 loss to the Reds on Friday night.
Suaalii suffered two concussions while playing for the Roosters in the NRL, against Cronulla in May 2022 and September 2023, alongside a head clash in training in June 2023. In Super Rugby, a player’s concussion history is considered during recovery, with an individualised rehabilitation program put in place.
Suaalii was cleared of any broken bones or serious structural damage by medical staff on Friday night and did not go to hospital after the game, instead returning to his home accompanied by his parents.
Waratahs coach Dan McKellar will certainly be without Suaalii for next week’s must-win home game against the Crusaders, with NSW’s chances of staying in the finals hunt growing slimmer after the defeat to the Reds.
