Journalist: Are you happy that what happened to George North last year won't happen again? Gatland: With what? Journalist: With what went wrong. Are you certain in your own mind that it won't happen again? Gatland: What won't happen. [Welsh Rugby Union press officer]: Do you want to tell us what went wrong? Journalist: A player that was concussed was still on the field. [WRU press officer]: I don't think that is relevant. Gatland: I don't understand what you are talking about. [Other journalist]: He's talking about George North. [WRU press officer]: The protocols were replaced straight after that match so it hasn't been a problem since...

"Because I suffered the impacts in a short space of time, the specialist said a month’s rest is the adequate amount of time for a brain injury to recover,” North told Wales Online. “We said we would review the situation after that and I was told if I came back for the end of the season and took another blow, I would have to spend three to six months doing nothing at all."
