Two promising rugby players from Suburbs Rugby Football Club in Auckland have been hospitalized in critical condition after experiencing separate on-field medical events in the space of a week. One player was seen collapsing on the field and undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. The other player suffered a seizure and stopped breathing, with spectators performing CPR until paramedics arrived. The incidents come following the deaths of a Bay of Plenty rugby league player and a rugby union player from Ruatoria in on-field incidents. Thousands of players participate in Saturday rugby every week and events like these are extremely rare.
