The father of a rugby player who died after suffering concussion is calling for greater safety in the sport.
Peter Robinson's 14-year-old son Benjamin died after a school rugby match in Northern Ireland in 2011.
An inquest found the cause of death was "second impact syndrome". Having been knocked out during the game, Benjamin was allowed to play on for his school, Carrickfergus Grammar, and sustained further injuries before collapsing on the field. He died later in hospital.
Mr Robinson now campaigns for players, coaches and referees to be educated in the symptoms and dangers of concussion on the rugby field.
He told Sky News: "Ben was knocked out and lay on the ground for a minute and a half. He was checked by the coach and allowed to play on and, within minutes, he was involved in another heavy tackle and again checked.
"In the coroner's court we heard that he forgot the last tackle, he forgot what the score was, he was looking dazed and confused ... he walks over to the coach and gets checked and allowed to play on and, with about a minute to go, he collapses.
"The moment for me was when I went into the hospital in Belfast and was met by the consultants. By the looks on their faces I could tell things weren't good. They said we expect to see these sort of injuries from a car accident.
"I went into see Ben and he was on the life support machine and I just knew ... I just knew we'd lost him."
Mr Robinson's personal tragedy has fed into initiatives around the country aimed at increasing knowledge of concussion and how to deal with it.
He was in Wales last week when the Welsh Rugby Union launched a Concussion Guidance Document which is being sent to all rugby clubs in Wales.
In January, the Scottish Government distributed a leaflet informing coaches, teachers and parents on how to spot the signs of concussion and what action to take.
Benjamin's death has also led to concussion awareness programmes being implemented by the Irish Rugby Football Union and by schools in Northern Ireland.
Mr Robinson believes rugby has begun to address the issue of concussion more than many other contact sports. The International Rugby Board now has a link to its concussion guidelines - "Recognise and Remove" - on the front page of its website with a downloadable poster that details the proper protocol.
At a training session of the Lasswade High School rugby team, near Edinburgh, Jack Sutherland, captain of the school's under 18s, told Sky News: "I'm not put off by injuries because I have faith in our coaches.
"Every coach goes through a 'Rugby Ready' course and that enables them to deal with all injuries, including concussion.
"The thing about rugby is that there is such a positive side to it weighing against the risks. It's fun, sociable and you learn transferable skills ... being captain, for example, that teaches me leadership and responsibility."
