I can't remember England games at World Cup, says 2003 winner Thompson
Rugby World Cup winner Steve Thompson and seven other former players claim the sport has left them with permanent brain damage - and are in the process of starting a claim against the game's authorities for negligence.
Every member of the group has recently been diagnosed with the early signs of dementia, and they say repeated blows to the head are to blame.
Thompson, 42, played in every England match when they won the 2003 World Cup, but says: "I can't remember any of those games. It's frightening."
It is understood a letter of claim, amounting to millions of pounds in damages, will be sent next week to the governing bodies for English and Welsh rugby and World Rugby - and a group class action could follow.
It is the first legal move of its kind in world rugby and, if successful, could force change to the way the game is played.
Lawyers for the group suggest another 80 former players between the ages of 25 and 55 are showing symptoms and have serious concerns.
Global governing body World Rugby told BBC Sport: "While not commenting on speculation, World Rugby takes player safety very seriously and implements injury-prevention strategies based on the latest available knowledge, research and evidence."
The Rugby Football Union (RFU), which runs the sport in England, said: "The RFU has had no legal approach on this matter. The Union takes player safety very seriously and implements injury prevention and injury treatment strategies based on the latest research and evidence.

World Cup memories have just gone - Thompson
Former hooker Thompson played 195 times for Northampton Saints before moving to France to play for Brive. He won 73 England caps, and three for the British and Irish Lions, in a nine-year international career.
He first retired in 2007 because of a serious neck injury but was given the all-clear to return, before being forced to retire again in December 2011 with the same problem.
Thompson, former England team-mate Michael Lipman, ex-Wales international Alix Popham and five other retired players are the first group to agree to - and have - testing.
Thompson says his condition is so progressed he cannot remember anything that happened in those 2003 World Cup games.

What is CTE & how can it be diagnosed?
All eight players to have come forward so far have been diagnosed by neurologists at King's College, London, with early onset dementia and probable Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
CTE is the disease discovered by Dr Bennet Omalu in American football player Mike Webster, and the subject of the film Concussion starring Will Smith. In 2011, a group of former American football players started a class action against the NFL and won a settlement worth about $1bn (£700m).
CTE can develop when the brain is subjected to numerous small blows or rapid movements - sometimes known as sub-concussions - and is associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia.
The disease can only be diagnosed in a brain after death, but some experts believe if history of exposure is evaluated, it is reasonable to conclude that the risk increases. The embryonic nature of the science around the issue could play a key part in the success or failure of the overall case.
It has been found in the brains of dozens of former NFL players, as well as a handful of deceased footballers, including former West Bromwich Albion and England player Jeff Astle. A re-examination of his brain in 2014 found he had died from CTE.
Sub-concussions cannot be detected on the pitch or in any post-match examination.
Dr Ann McKee, from Boston University, is the leading neurologist in CTE and was instrumental in bringing about change in the NFL.
She and others have faced scepticism within sport, from those who believe more research is needed before further changes are introduced.
"There's clearly a problem," she told the BBC.
"We don't know the magnitude of the problem, but as long as we insist that there is no problem, we'll never get to the bottom of it.
"We're just denying it and prolonging it and making sure that as many rugby players as possible get CTE."
So how could the claim be proved?
If the case progresses to court, the group must prove the governing bodies have been guilty of negligence.
Richard Boardman, from law firm Rylands, is leading the action.
"We are now in a position where we believe the governing bodies across the rugby world are liable for failing to adequately protect their players on this particular issue," he said.
"Depending on how many people come forward, the case could be worth tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions.
"Right now we're representing over 100 former players but we expect many more to get in contact."
Dr Willie Stewart, who with his team at Glasgow University has been leading research around dementia in football, is confident there is an issue in rugby union.
"There is no question if you look at the data across all the sports in all the regions whether they be football, rugby, American football, I've looked at brains from people from all these different sports.
"The difficulty we have is gathering enough experience from former rugby players to be able to say with certainty, but I think you would be foolish to ignore it. "
The issue of concussion in sport has been debated extensively over the past few years. The links between heading a football and degenerative brain disease have even forced rule changes at youth level.
In England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, children aged 11 and under are no longer allowed to head the ball in training. There are also limits to heading frequency at higher age group levels.
At senior level, former professionals have called for more research and better player welfare after the recent death of England World Cup winner Nobby Stiles, and following the news that Stiles' 1966 team-mate and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton is suffering from the disease.

If you 're eligible for a flu vaccine , you should get it as soon as possible , particularly if @ @ @ @ @ a high-risk priority group for a Covid jab .

Covid booster: Who can get another jab this spring? Published 9 March
Image source, PA Media
Those most at risk from coronavirus will be offered another vaccination this spring.
Across the UK, more than 151 million Covid vaccine doses have been given.
Who can have a spring booster?
The government has confirmed an extra booster vaccine dose will be offered to:
adults aged 75 years and over
residents in a care home for older adults
individuals aged five and over who are immunosuppressed
Those eligible will be offered the vaccine about six months after their previous dose.
Scotland's booster campaign will begin in the final week of March.
Vaccinations in England and Wales will start in early April, with Northern Ireland's rollout from mid-April.
People at higher risk from Covid are also expected to be offered a further booster vaccine dose in autumn 2023.
Who was able to get an autumn booster?
This was offered to a wider range of people:
people aged 50 and over
those aged five to 49 with health conditions that put them at higher risk - including pregnant women
care home staff
front-line health and social care workers
carers aged 16 to 49
household contacts of people with weakened immune systems
Anyone aged 16 or over - or an at-risk child aged 12 to 15 - who had received both primary jabs could have a booster.
People with a severely weakened immune system were offered an additional third primary dose before being offered a booster.
A free flu jab was also available to more people this winter - sometimes given at the same time as a Covid booster.
Which vaccine will people get?
Four different vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Sanofi/GSK and Novavax are expected to be used in the spring booster programme.
Most doses should protect against the Omicron variant as well as previous ones.
Under-12s will be offered a children's formulation of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Health officials advise people to take whichever booster they are offered, as all vaccines provide protection against becoming severely ill or dying from Covid.
First and second vaccine doses are either AstraZeneca or (for under-40s) Pfizer or Moderna.
How many people have been vaccinated against Covid?
According to the official figures, more than 151 million Covid vaccine doses had been administered in the UK as at 4 September, including:
53.8 million people had a first dose (94% of over-12s)
50.8 million had a second dose (88%)
40.4 million had a booster or third dose (70%)
The 2022/2023 winter's Covid booster vaccination programme reached more than 18.7 million people across the UK:
15.1 million people in England (as at 28 February)
2 million people in Scotland (as at 2 March)
1.1 million people in Wales (as at 6 March)
500,000 people in Northern Ireland (as at 7 March)
In England, the figure equates to almost two-thirds of over-50s (65%).
In July 2022, a report from an influential committee of MPs warned that Covid vaccine take-up was too low for several important groups, including pregnant women, younger people and those from some ethnic backgrounds.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Some pregnant women complained they were not given enough information about the Covid jab
Which children can get jabbed?
All five to 11-year-olds in the UK can have two doses of a reduced-strength Covid vaccine, 12 weeks apart.
In addition:
all 12 to 15-year-olds are offered two doses of Pfizer
all 16 and 17-year-olds can have a booster, three months after their second jab
12 to 15-year-olds in an at-risk group - or who live with someone with a weakened immune system - can have a booster
How do I book my Covid vaccine?
The NHS will contact people who are eligible for a spring booster dose.
Carers of five to 11-year-olds in Scotland and Wales should wait to be offered an appointment.
Twelve to 15-year-olds in Scotland and Wales should also be contacted directly, but can speak to the relevant helpline or local health board if not.
You should leave eight weeks between your first and second dose, and at least 12 weeks before having a booster.
The 2023 spring booster should be given six months after your last dose.
Image source, Getty Images
How long after Covid can I have a jab?
You should wait four weeks after a positive test, even if you had no symptoms.
Under-18s, who are not at higher risk from Covid, should wait 12 weeks. Those who are more vulnerable should wait four.
You should not have a jab if you have a severe illness or high fever.
The vaccines do not infect you with Covid and cannot cause positive test results.
What are the side effects?
They are part of the body's normal immune response to vaccines and tend to resolve themselves within a day or two.

Geoghegan Hart only has one , because it was n't until he crossed the line on the 21st and final stage of the Giro that he led for the first time .

As a result , in treacherously-wet conditions , he took the opening individual time trial on stage one `` easy '' .
So easy that he ended the day in 126th place .

When Wiggins won Le Grande Boucle in 2012 he famously said that `` kids from Kilburn '' are not supposed to win the Tour de France .
By his own admission Geoghegan Hart lacks the Wiggins wit to produce such a quip .
But a football-mad kid from a non-cycling family in central London conquering one of the biggest bike races in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His Ineos Grenadiers general manager Sir Dave Brailsford perhaps described it best in the aftermath of victory .
That was the year Geoghegan Hart , an Arsenal-mad goalkeeper good enough to represent Hackney - a London borough of over 200,000 people - took on a life-changing challenge .
Aged just 13 he was the youngest of a group of teenagers to swim from England to France across the English Channel , in 11 hours and 34 minutes .
Going back to the local pool simply did n't sate his new-found adventurous streak .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 10 years later , as we ride around the streets of his childhood , Geoghegan Hart remembers those early trips on his first proper bike - a second-hand women 's one .
Often alone , he would head out into the Essex and Hertfordshire countryside , covering huge distances `` getting lost and being out all day '' .
He says : `` It was something so different to everything I had done up to that point .
Every sport up until then was always inside London .
A football away game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a real long way .
`` Cycling was totally different because it removed me from all of that .

This is where the Wiggins and Geoghegan Hart stories diverge .

He spent `` more time than was probably healthy '' staring at posters dreaming of mythical foreign races like the Giro d'Italia .
Geoghegan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - is the son of a builder father and architect mother with no cycling background .
His inspiration was found not in the high mountains but at Highbury - the then home of Arsenal football club .

The day before we met , Geoghegan Hart had arrived at a publicity event just after Arsenal legend Ian Wright left .
It was clearly still bothering him .
Back in 2010 , as a 14-year-old , he made sure he did n't miss his man .
`` Back when we launched Team Sky in London , we did a ride around Richmond Park and Tao bunked off school for the day and he came along , '' Brailsford told BBC Radio 5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ six years later Geoghegan Hart was offered a contract for Team Sky by Brailsford .

Geoghegan Hart, pictured outside his old school in Hackney
"I've only got one pink jersey.... that feels like a pretty apt metaphor."
British cycling's latest Grand Tour winner Tao Geoghegan Hart is in a reflective mood as he poses for a photo on home territory outside Hackney Town Hall.
Over his right shoulder is the maglia rosa - the pink jersey he's talking about, from October's surprise Giro d'Italia victory. When he hands it over for a quick look I can still smell the prosecco from the podium ceremony.
In cycling's Grand Tours, the race leader at the end of each stage is given a jersey to honour the achievement. When Sir Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France in 2012 he had 14 to his name, after dominating for much of the three weeks.
Geoghegan Hart only has one, because it wasn't until he crossed the line on the 21st and final stage of the Giro that he led for the first time.
Heading into that final day in Milan, Geoghegan Hart and rival Jai Hindley were separated by a few thousandths of a second. Never in the history of professional cycling had a Grand Tour been so close. And never in a million years would you have predicted Geoghegan Hart would be in the running after stage one.
The 25-year-old had arrived in Italy with one job. To ride in the service of team leader Geraint Thomas.
As a result, in treacherously-wet conditions, he took the opening individual time trial on stage one "easy". So easy that he ended the day in 126th place.
More than three thousand kilometres later at the conclusion of the 21st and final stage - another individual time trial - Geoghegan Hart became Britain's fifth Grand Tour champion following Wiggins, Chris Froome, Thomas and Simon Yates.
As well as being a metaphor for his unique 2020 Giro win, the solitary pink jersey is actually a pretty apt symbol for his unhurried, and unlikely, route to the top.
When Wiggins won Le Grande Boucle in 2012 he famously said that "kids from Kilburn" are not supposed to win the Tour de France.
By his own admission Geoghegan Hart lacks the Wiggins wit to produce such a quip.
But a football-mad kid from a non-cycling family in central London conquering one of the biggest bike races in the world is arguably even more remarkable.
His Ineos Grenadiers general manager Sir Dave Brailsford perhaps described it best in the aftermath of victory.
"The stuff of comic books."
The story begins in 2008.
That was the year Geoghegan Hart, an Arsenal-mad goalkeeper good enough to represent Hackney - a London borough of over 200,000 people - took on a life-changing challenge.
Aged just 13 he was the youngest of a group of teenagers to swim from England to France across the English Channel, in 11 hours and 34 minutes. Going back to the local pool simply didn't sate his new-found adventurous streak. Cycling did the job instead.
More than 10 years later, as we ride around the streets of his childhood, Geoghegan Hart remembers those early trips on his first proper bike - a second-hand women's one. Often alone, he would head out into the Essex and Hertfordshire countryside, covering huge distances "getting lost and being out all day".
Geoghegan Hart claimed to know how to get out of east London quicker than anyone on a bike
He says: "It was something so different to everything I had done up to that point. Every sport up until then was always inside London. A football away game in Battersea or Croydon would feel like a real long way.
"Cycling was totally different because it removed me from all of that. I was independent and it just snowballed from there. The competitive spirit I always had led me to racing."
This is where the Wiggins and Geoghegan Hart stories diverge.
Wiggins' father Gary was a professional cyclist. His childhood was immersed in the sport. He spent "more time than was probably healthy" staring at posters dreaming of mythical foreign races like the Giro d'Italia.
Geoghegan Hart - the eldest of five children - is the son of a builder father and architect mother with no cycling background. His inspiration was found not in the high mountains but at Highbury - the then home of Arsenal football club.
"I was lucky that I grew up in the most inspiring and defining era of Arsenal," he says. "When I was a football-mad seven or eight year old we were winning the double. I was at the open top bus parade for the 2004 Invincibles season. What kid could want any more incredible imagery than that, especially in your neck of the woods?"
The day before we met, Geoghegan Hart had arrived at a publicity event just after Arsenal legend Ian Wright left. It was clearly still bothering him.
Back in 2010, as a 14-year-old, he made sure he didn't miss his man.
Geoghegan Hart is Britain's fifth Grand Tour winner
"Back when we launched Team Sky in London, we did a ride around Richmond Park and Tao bunked off school for the day and he came along," Brailsford told BBC Radio 5 Live in October.
Incredibly, just six years later Geoghegan Hart was offered a contract for Team Sky by Brailsford. Perhaps even more amazingly, he said no.
Not for the first time in his career (he had a chance to join Britain's track cycling programme) Geoghegan Hart preferred to play the long game, opting to remain in road racing's under-23 road ranks with the American Axeon-Hagens Berman team.
"It's really hard when you have the opportunity that is your dream, and you don't know if it'll come again, to say that you'd like to wait a year please," he said in 2017.
That was the year he did eventually join Team Sky, now Ineos Grenadiers. He believes his slow and steady approach was the right one.
"I've always wanted to win and be the best I can, but I've also always been focused on improving every year by a few percent," he says. "In this sport doing that is a great place to be and shouldn't be looked down on."
Far from look down on it, former coach and mentor at Axeon-Hagens, Axel Merckx, the son of cycling legend Eddy, has lauded his approach, saying: "Tao's got a mature head on young shoulders. He's older and wiser than most men. He's an old soul in a young body."
Victory in the Giro's stage 15 was Geoghegan Hart's first success at one of cycling's Grand Tours
Maturity was Geoghegan Hart's trump card in the Giro d'Italia.
It wasn't until stage 15 of 21 that he even entered the potential winners' conversation. Ineos were riding for stage victories by that point, after their leader Thomas abandoned the race with a broken pelvis sustained in a crash on stage three.
Stage 15 from Rivolto to Piancavallo was a 185km race over mountainous terrain. Geoghegan Hart waited until the final 100 metres to show his hand - sprinting clear of Hindley and fellow rival Wilco Kelderman and crossing the line in first place.
The win was Geoghegan Hart's first in a Grand Tour. And it was more than that.
With overall leader Joao Almeida showing weakness, it was a win that offered a first inkling of the Londoner's potential for overall victory.
At that time Geoghegan Hart was still nearly three minutes down in the general classification standings, but three days later dreams of victory became a real possibility. With second place on stage 18, which included an ascent of the iconic Stelvio, the Ineos rider moved to third overall, crucially just 15 seconds adrift of new leader Kelderman.
Geoghegan Hart says that was when he and his team-mates began sensing a first whiff of victory.
"I think we definitely changed our mentality a bit after the Stelvio," he says. "Our approach to Sestriere (stage 20) was quite different. We went into that day quite confident that the podium was somewhat in the pocket, which afforded us more freedom to aim big."
Thinking big - but remaining calm.
As he had on stage 15, Geoghegan Hart waited until the last metres of the 190km race to the ski resort to sprint clear of Hindley.
A second stage win moved him to second overall. Incredibly, after more than 85 hours and 3,300 kilometres of racing Hindley and the Briton were locked on the same time - only separated by a few thousandths of a second.
Having spent a few hours in Geoghegan Hart's company it's unsurprising to hear that on the final morning in Milan he was in relaxed mood.
He listened to a playlist his brother Bede had sent him featuring London rappers Loyle Carner and Dave, and then produced a perfectly-measured 15.7km individual time trial, overhauling Hindley to take the Giro title.
Having begun the day level he ended it 39 seconds in front.
Britain had its fifth Grand Tour champion.

On the cold November morning of our meeting, Geoghegan Hart is tucking into an array of pastries at one of his favourite Hackney coffee haunts.
The people of Hackney are obviously proud - when our ride around the borough took us past his former school, a pair of teaching assistants made a beeline for him to offer their congratulations, a character reference ("a good kid") and some words of encouragement ("Tour de France next Tao?").
For Geoghegan Hart the question of what comes next is uncertain. Using his new-found celebrity as a force for good is on the to-do list - he talks enthusiastically of mentoring budding London sportspeople and organising a mass-participation bike ride for Hackney.
The Olympics is a big target in 2021. But typically, his game plan for the December Ineos team meeting that will decide his schedule for next season is to wait and see.
