(Reuters) - Former England international Dan Scarbrough said he has joined the class-action lawsuit against World Rugby, England's Rugby Football Union and the Welsh Rugby Union which alleges a failure to protect players from the risks caused by concussions.

The 43-year-old, who played twice for England, was diagnosed with early-onset dementia in December.
