Concussed: Sport's Uncomfortable Truth with Sam Peters

In this episode Sam Peters shares his insights as a sports journalist of over 20 years covering some of the biggest and most brutal rugby matches, raising serious concerns over rugby's handling of concussive and non-concussive injuries sustained by players

Sam Peters is a sports fanatic turned journalist who spent 20 years travelling the world covering some of the biggest matches on the planet and interviewing some of the biggest stars

Having got increasingly concerned about professional rugby's injury profile, in 2013, while rugby correspondent at the Mail on Sunday, Sam convinced his bosses to launch the concussion in rugby campaign, which has since been described as the 'most influential sports campaign in newspaper history' 

In 2023 Sam published Concussed: Sport's Uncomfortable Truth, which has since been shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year and won the UK Sports Book Award for Outstanding Sports Writing
