Any updates on the Tongan?
So far saying no concussion - he felt light headed, weak, half fainted and vomited. But he says he had no head issues and they say he passed concussion protocols on field and after.

Not signs of a concussion at all
you can have head trauma and any of those symptoms and no concussion.
i've witnessed concussion protocol tests on my daughter who had a bad one. they are very specific and interesting actually - initial on field includes checking pupils, slurred speech, walking gait, etc. Others done typically in locker include repeating words just seconds later and they cannot, balance with eyes closed, touching nose with eyes closed, etc. Later onset of headaches that get worse, sensitivity to light, etc.
