In December 2013 after an MRI scan showed a scar on my brain from a bleed that occurred after a seizure on the rugby training field in August 2013, the neurologist made it very clear that I had to retire from professional rugby as I was suffering with Post Concussive Syndrome (PCS), a cumulative build up was making me more susceptible to getting concussed, knocked out and in the worst case scenario one more significant knock could kill me.
I’ve never been totally honest about what happened to me over a series of concussion in a previous interviews because I was scared what people would think. But I know by playing down my injuries and how it was treated is not serving or helping those in similar situations.
So I’ve been 100% brutally honest in this podcast about my head injury history in a hope that it will help others make better more informed decisions about their own injuries.
I also hope people watching and listening understand why I feel I need to be honest about this situation. Thank you already for your support 🙏🏻
