Last night the documentary ‘Rugby on Trial’ aired on BBC One.

It examined whether enough has been done to protect rugby players from the devastating impacts of concussions. 

And whether parents can be sure their children will be safe playing rugby at school.

One of the people behind the documentary was Sam Peters from Concussed Media, and he joins Clare McKenna to discuss. Also joining to discuss is Alix Popham, former Welsh Rugby International who was diagnosed with early onset dementia at age 40, and Professor John Fairclough, former President of the British Sports Trauma Association and a spokesperson for Progressive Rugby.
