Day in and day out, Rugby players give their all on the field, while the suits leave them to languish from serious brain ailments. Instead of taking ownership of the impact of rugby on their conditions, the organizers have taken to blaming the players for the horrors of their conditions, including early onset dementia. These life-altering injuries must be taken more seriously.

While player concerns are real, it’s inaccurate to claim the rugby associations are ignoring them. The organizations have robust, science-led strategies to improve player welfare, involving independent researchers, clinicians, and players themselves. This research has already led to reforms like updated concussion protocols and trials of law changes to reduce head injuries.
