Yesterday, Lucas Neville secured €2.75m damages, plus costs, under a settlement approved by the High Court, for head injuries suffered in a schools’ rugby game in 2009.

It's brought into sharp focus, once again, the very real threat when playing sport at all levels of sustaining head injuries.

Dr Barry O'Driscoll is a former medical advisor to the IRB and has been very critical of how authorities are dealing with this issue, and on The Right Hook, he gave a powerful account to George of exactly what's happening, and what he believes needs to happen in order to properly address it.
