WHY WEAR A HEADGUARD?

Rugby is a physically demanding and contact sport that involves tackles, scrums, rucks, and mauls. These actions can lead to head collisions, impacts, and the risk of head injuries, such as concussions or lacerations. A headguard can offer some protection by absorbing and dispersing the force of these impacts, reducing the risk of injury.

Younger or less experienced players who are still learning proper tackling techniques may wear headguards to provide additional protection as they develop their skills and confidence on the field.
