@Richard99366022@benjames1796 Thanks Richard. I will read this, but I did note that as time goes on more research and medical evidence will be forthcoming.I know that certain rugby playing doctors are furious with the Ryan Jones media splash approach and consider cases like his as normal brain degeneration

Ben, I published this blog on my substack in May. It focuses on the legal issues and is based on a longer dissertation written by Hywelis, who graduated from Swansea University law depth in July. There are serious legal obstacles that Rylands law will struggle with
@Richard99366022@ChrisNowinski1 I think Rylands know that if the case gets to court its not a slam dunk. I believe Rylands are deliberately trying this case in the media to put pressure on WR to negotiate a settlement. Read Ben James' excellent article on Wales Online today.
@WalesRugby@benjames1796 Well balanced informative article Ben,that puts a proper perspective on this difficult issue.I used Stallards as my lawyers many moons ago when I was running listed companies.Quality firm.The NFL never accepted any liability but settled for PR reasons.But NFL is cash rich.WR not
@Richard99366022 This class action by Rylands is based on hype not sound legal foundations.Likelihood is World Rugby and Unions will successfully defend these wild allegations that ignore the scientific fact that no link has been proven between mTBI and CTE. Please read my substack on concussions
@mdmaylwin
For your excellent records...I wrote this piece on my substack blog in May. Its based on a dissertation written by Hywelis, a recently graduate from Swansea Univ law. For info my Dad wrote for the Guardian/ Observer...Clem Thomas.
@andygoosemoore Not corrupt just totally incompetent. Same ref who created the farce in Ireland v Italy match in 6 Nations with 3 yellows and 15 v 12 !! World Rugby should hang their head in shame for overprinting a ref not qualified at Test level.Sheer incompetence.
