More unnamed Wales rugby internationals are among the 185 players suing the Welsh Rugby Union, World Rugby and the Rugby Football Union alongside Ryan Jones and Alix Popham, it has emerged.
Around 50 Welsh players are involved in the legal action, with top former national team players among that number. Former Wales star Popham has spoken to almost all of them, and has also been supporting former captain Jones for the past 12 months - even before his official diagnosis.
Popham says he's more surprised when ex-players aren't diagnosed with brain damage, such is the depth of the problem. And he claims there have already been cases where former players with suspected brain injuries have tragically taken their own lives.
