A former Munster and Ireland rugby player has filed a notice of intended court action against parties including the IRFU and Munster Rugby, in what is believed to be a concussion-related case.

Tony Buckley won 25 caps for Ireland and played just under 100 times for Munster during his career. The Cork native ended his career at Sale Sharks in England in 2014.
