Savoring Success with Taste Nova Scotia Culinary Ambassador Amy Savoury | SaltWireSYDNEY - World Rugby chief Bill Beaumont has welcomed the largest ever study of the impact of collisions on the heads of players as proof that the game is serious about becoming a global leader in athlete welfare.
Most of the incidences where higher G-forces were experienced were the result of poor tackle or rucking technique, the study said. A rash of law suits from former players who say they suffered brain injuries from repeated concussions sustained while playing rugby present a major threat to the finances of the game.
"This marks a positive beginning in developing a comprehensive understanding of head impacts in rugby, especially those leading to higher magnitude events," said NZR's Concussion Research Scientist Janelle Romanchuk, who co-led the study.
