Was just reading about the new concussion rules in Oz which I think are a very good idea and how they have already been implemented in one of the Sheffield Sheild games. If a player is hit on the lid and gets concussion as a result the player is forbidden from playing and further part in the game and must be replaced by a "like for like" player.

See the below article -

Happens so rarely these days.
