Dr Willie Stewart & Professor Craig Ritchie are very prominent in this field and have been working alongside Dr James Robson MBE and Scottish Rugby on various projects over the last few years.

They discuss their involvement in rugby and brain health over the years, their aims and what they hope to get from the study, how more knowledge can potentially help shape the future and how former players can get involved.

Jamie McMillan also joins Chris for a chat about the recent action in the United Rugby Championship, with wins for both Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors.
