Every tackle is like a 30mph car crash – Sculthorpe

Danny Sculthorpe says that painkillers were part of his daily routine as a rugby player.

Sculthorpe had a career in Super League with Wigan, Castleford, Wakefield and Huddersfield, but it was interspersed with serious injury.

The 37-year-old describes every tackle like a car crash, and says: "Try and do 50 collisions, your body is going to be in bits."
