Rugby brain injury claim may be thrown out, court hears
November 08, 2025
|Western Mail
A LEGAL claim involving hundreds of former rugby players who allege they have suffered brain injuries during their careers is at risk of being thrown out if their lawyers cannot find all their medical records, the High Court has heard.
‘A mix of professional and amateur players claim that World Rugby, the Welsh Rugby Union, the Rugby Football Union, the Rugby Football League and the British Amateur Rugby League Association breached a duty of care to protect them from injury.
Lawyers for the players say they have suffered neurological injuries such as early onset dementia, Parkinson’s, epilepsy and motor neurone disease because of repeated blows suffered throughout their sporting lives.
‘They argue that the governing bodies had the knowledge and resources to understand the likelihood of brain damage, but did not take steps against this or inform the players.
Each of the governing bodies denies wrongdoing and is defending the legal claims.
