Description

Tonga forward Eli Katoa was hospitalised following seizure activity on the sidelines during a Pacific Championships rugby league match against New Zealand at Eden Park yesterday. In worrying scenes ahead of the match, footage has emerged of Katoa copping a sickening head knock during his team's warm-up. But he was allowed to take the field for Tonga. However he then suffered two head knocks during the clash with the second one forcing him from the field. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.
