The parents of tragic Stirling County and Scotland rugby player Siobhan Cattigan are launching legal action against rugby authorities after accusing them of failing to follow head injury guidelines.
The 26-year-old forward passed away suddenly in November, with the cause of her death never fully explained. However, parents Neil and Morven have claimed in an interview published over the weekend that the death was related to brain trauma.
They have now begun a lawsuit against Scottish Rugby and World Rugby after claiming concerns had been raised over Siobhan’s health following head injuries in February 2020 and April 2021.
