[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1096857, member: 70552"] Yeh don’t disagree with what you have written. I do think Aylwin has written that piece based on emotion of what has happened to his wife and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. He does admit that wasn’t caused by rugby but his experience of subsequent the care for her is relevant. That is what is facing a number of rugby players past and also current players, who go onto be diagnosed and will need care in later life. There is no magic bullet for this - you look at the 1966 winning team and how many of them went onto develop dementia- arguably caused by heading heavy leather balls. [/QUOTE]
