Since you have to stop in time, the chances of seeing the friend Paul Willemse again on a rugby field are almost zero. The MHR should not take a risk of extending the 2nd of 32, arrested since last October for repeated concussion problems, and which has still not received the green light from the specialties.
Whoever has 32 selections with the French team should not resume, just to not put their life in danger. His body has already launched enough alert signals like that …
