Can someone explain what the rule is around stopping the play for injured players off the ball? Lane goes down and they stop (ref tells Munster he has a duty of care), then NAS goes down and play continues. Same thing happened to us last week and resulted in a try (Simmonsson for them, Utoikamanu for us)
I could have it wrong, but my understanding is that the trainer has to call for the stoppage, and our trainer didn't do that..

If the trainer calls for play to be stopped the player must leave the field I think for hia or a set period of time
