My concern is that the concussion was actually incurred in the Zebre game.

In that game Jackson was penalised for not rolling away by potato head when it looked like he had sparked out. In the next couple of phases he stumbled shakily towards the wing for some respite only for the Zebre prop to charge over him and score the decisive try - he was subbed immediately after.

Against Edinburgh they took him off no doubt with the previous week in mind.
