Terrifying video shows former rugby player 'cut out' while discussing concussions

John Shaw was being interviewed by the BBC.

BELOW IS THE moment former Glasgow player John Shaw has a ‘cut out’ moment during an interview with John Beattie for BBC Scotland.

The clip is part of a wider documentary where Beattie — a former Scotland and British and Irish Lions player — talks to former players and medical staff about the long-term effect of concussion on rugby players.

47-year-old Shaw, who was capped by Scotland A, appears unable to remember the question just seconds after he’s asked about his long-term future.

It makes for uncomfortable viewing.
