More than 100 former rugby players are taking legal action over what they say was a failure to protect them from permanent injury caused by repeated concussions during their careers.
Many players in the group suffer from neurological impairments like early onset dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson鈥檚 Disease and Motor Neurone Disease.
The group is represented by Rrylands Legal, which says the claim isn't just about financial compensation, but also about making the game safer.
Dr Bill Ribbans is a professor of sports medicine and has more than 25 years of experience assessing and managing acute head injuries in elite sport and he joined Mike Hosking.
