Hopefully players will increasingly speak out. The speed going into contact along with the weights involved, and that rugby is much more a collision sport now than once was the case means this issue can't be other than growing. This and the diabetes worry me far more actually than having to have new knees/hips by the time they're 45 (or younger)
