Gosper: Game has never been safer

World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper claimed his sport has “never been safer than it is now” as he looked ahead to a groundbreaking World Cup in Japan later this year.

In an interview aired last night on RTÉ’s Against The Head, the CEO declared the game is safe enough but devastation at the recent deaths of three young players in France, had made World Rugby refocus its efforts on making it safer.
