    shirts and stuff for a bit of blood
    Watching England and France and players are ‘covered’ in the stuff, either it’s a health risk or it’s not!

    It does seem strange that the blood rule brought into football, and other sports, isn't equally applied in rugby especially when you consider the nature of contact in rugby.

    they do have to go off and get sorted. But the team are allowed to put on a blood injury sub till they can get back.

    I've seen rugby players still on the pitch with blood on their shirts and seeping out of bandages which just wouldn't happen in football.

    Yes that's actually against the rules though I think. Common practice but not technically allowed

    there was a big case when Harlequins faked a blood injury so now there is a defining rule about it.
