LONDON (AP) — England fullback Mike Brown is set to miss the rest of the season for his club Harlequins because of ongoing concussion symptoms after being knocked out during a Six Nations game more than two months ago.
However, Harlequins coach Conor O'Shea says he is confident Brown will be fit to play in the Rugby World Cup starting in September.
O'Shea says "he'll have the World Cup warm-ups and he'll be fine. The World Cup is not an issue at all."
Brown was knocked out after colliding with Italy's Andrea Masi at Twickenham on Feb. 14. He recovered to play in England's final two Six Nations games, against Scotland and France, but has had more concussion symptoms since returning to Harlequins.
O'Shea says Brown has headaches throughout the day.
