He will address MPs on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee on Tuesday morning, the committee has announced. The chief executive of the Rugby Players' Association, Damian Hopley, will also appear at the same session, the committee confirmed. Taylor said last month that the PFA had "done more than any other players union, sporting union or trade union on this issue" and is expected to launch a fierce defence of its work. Taylor wrote to the game's law-making body, the International Football Association Board, urging it to extend its concussion substitutes trial to include the use of temporary subs. Tuesday's session will also hear from Paul Struthers, a director at the Professional Players Federation, Dr John Etherington, a consultant rheumatologist, and Dr Richard Sylvester, a consultant neurologist.
