Andrew Watkins Alix Popham All Blacks World Rugby This was stuff you had to go out and find in those days too. No easily Internet-based / socal information dissemination. Easy to cover up then, but we know now since the documents are out there. It's incredibly sad to think the difference it could have had if it wasn't buried
Andrew Watkins Alix Popham I am going off really old memory here, but I'd swear that when I was in Welsh youth squads in the late 90s, the first time I ever heard of concussion or head trauma was from a New Zealand Rugby based doctor. This is a tragedy of health issues unfolding right before our very eyes.
Alix Popham All Blacks World Rugby Sadly the silence not only destroyed the lives of thousands of players and families is also caused debilitation so deep rooted players had no option but to take there own lives leaving a trail of devastation and suffering with so many unanswered questions
Alix Popham Noticeable that these cases of CTE and suspected CTE are becoming increasingly common in NZ. No doubt in part from the subject receiving increased publicity and consequently increased awareness and removal of fear and stigma. Sadly Iโm in no doubt this is just the beginning๐๐ง ๐ข

James Drake Daily Mail US My father, Tommy Cavanagh (former Man Utd assistant manager/coach) was among the many who suffered with frontal lobe dementia. The FA did nothing when we raised the issue back in the early 2000s.
