The contact nature of rugby union means that injuries do occur, through the research the RFU carries out the understanding of what type of injuries and why injuries occur continues to advance.
There are a number of factors that can affect the risk of injury including player technique, coaching behaviours and how the game is officiated.
Through the RugbySafe initiative the RFU are working across all of these areas to improve the safety of players, furthermore the research into the Activate Injury Prevention Exercise Programme provides evidence that the conditioning of players significantly contributes to reducing the risk of injury.
