# Rugby: Former Welsh flanker Alix Popham wants to meet officials in court over what he terms their part in the head injuries he and other players suffered. Hundreds of former players are bringing a lawsuit against authorities for allegedly failing to provide sufficient protection from repeated blows to the head. Forty-five-year-old Popham, who played 33 Tests for Wales between 2003 and 2008, was diagnosed with the progressive brain condition CTE five years ago. He says the officials are part of the reason for the mess they’re in.
