Weβre deeply saddened by the passing of Liam Canning.
His passion, sportsmanship, and kind spirit will be missed by everyone on and off the pitch.
Our thoughts are with Liamβs family and friends during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Liam.

The World Rugby head contact process (HCP) is a decision-making framework for officials to use when sanctioning head and neck contact
Safety is one of our big five, here is Kieron to take us through the process.
