Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't see it anywhere.
Rage and Bloodrage specifically prevent all things that require concentration. Usually, that also includes spellcasting, but Blood Casting specifically overrides that for the Bloodrager. However, it doesn't specify whether or not the Bloodrager is able to cast defensively (which requires a decision to make a concentration check), or in any other situation where they have to make a successful concentration check to be able to cast (grappled, taking ongoing damage).
I also wonder whether there's a case to be made for allowing Spellcraft to be used in a Bloodrage, but I think that may be going too far.

Yes, while raging they can cast defensively and concentrate on their bloodrager spells. Either blood casting or bloodrage will make that clear in the final draft of the class.
