In this way, player and coach education strategies to reduce injury rates have been found to be effective — particularly with youth players. The two schemes share similar programme structures and aim to educate coaches and referees in an attempt to prevent serious injuries to players.
Correct head placement, using the shoulder, and driving the legs in contact have all been found to be technique factors associated with a reduced risk of a concussive tackle. Which is why initiatives aimed at coaches, teachers and referees should focus on ensuring safe tackling behaviours are adopted and retained by youth players.
And positively, research has actually found that junior players value tackle training and the time spent on techniques to help reduce injury. This is encouraging because children who are taught correct technique from a young age are more likely to retain safe tackle behaviours if they continue to play rugby.
And this of course helps to reduce injury rates, and makes the sport safer at all levels of the game. This is an important point, because research based on South African youth players found that poor tackle technique is more likely to result in a tackle leading to a head injury.

Two-thirds of these injuries are either concussions or brain injuries. Although rugby players sometimes wear protective headgear with the belief that it will prevent head injuries, research has shown it offers no significant protection against concussions.
Some rugby players opt to use a type of headgear called a scrum cap. A scrum cap is ideal for protecting the ears and reducing superficial head injuries, including lacerations and abrasions. Many believe concussions are caused by a blow to the head. However, concussions result from neural whiplash, whereby the entire head accelerates and bruises or damages the brain. For this reason, it is a misconception to believe they are effective at preventing concussions. Several studies found no difference in concussion rates between players who did and did not wear scrum caps.
Players who wear scrum caps said they feel more confident on the field. Because of this, they are more likely to behave recklessly on the field. The scrum cap protects against the constant rubbing on the side of the head. One or both ears get misshapen and swollen. The scrum cap is probably more of a psychological benefit for many. Does the player reveal a shiny bald head? Should Rugby Players Wear Helmets?
Injuries from the ball are rare Players occasionally get hit in the head with the ball. Cricketers wear helmets to protect their heads from the ball. Rugby scrum caps are worn primarily to protect ears and heads from abrasions in the scrum.
