Ex-Wales flanker Popham wants his day in court with rugby authorities
68% Informative
Alix Popham is one of hundreds of former rugby players to bring a lawsuit against the sport's authorities for head injuries.
The former Wales flanker was diagnosed in 2020 with probable chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the age of 40 .
The basis of the lawsuit is that rugby's governing bodies failed to provide sufficient protection from the risks caused by concussion.
World Rugby said the ongoing legal action prevented them from engaging with players "concerned in this story".
