(Reuters) - Former England coach Clive Woodward welcomed news that a group of former players are set to take legal action against rugby union's governing bodies after suffering brain damage they say was the result of concussions, calling it a watershed moment.
England's World Cup-winning prop Steve Thompson said this week that he had no memory of the 2003 final and, along with several other former players, held the sport's various governing bodies responsible for their failure to adequately protect players from long-term mental impairment.
