Yeah it happens a lot in rugby where an injured player drops to the ground and the medics rush on and treat them there, I'm always concerned that the next play or two lands on them both. Less likely in rugby as the play tends to move in one direction (away from the downed player) for quite some time, but a turnover close to the next play puts everyone at risk. I much prefer the football way of managing it, as this reduces the inclination for footballers to feign injury, which I think is why the refs are directed to keep a player off if they are attended by medics.
