Summary

Alix Popham and Sam Peters open up about rugby’s concussion crisis and the hidden cost of the modern game.


Alix shares the reality of being diagnosed with early onset dementia and probable CTE at just 40, after a career filled with repeated head impacts, painkillers, and pressure to keep playing. Sam reflects on years of investigating the issue through his book Concussed, exposing the science, the silence, and the decisions that left generations of players at risk. Together, they discuss the legal case involving over 1,200 former players, the damage done in training, the fight for accountability, and why rugby must change to protect the next generation.


This is the eventful life of Alix Popham and Sam Peters.
