What are the risk factors in rugby?

Answer 1

Tackles which are classed as dangerous, collapsed scrums, stamping with studs to the body of undefended players, gouging, broken bones in tackles/falling, head injuries

Answer 2

It depends on what kind of unjury you are looking at. If your talking abotu anything that will force a player to leave the pitch/session and be unable to participate in any number of future matches/training sessions i would say at my level (amateur) an average of between one and four dependant on the player's style, position and pain threshold. My season started in september, and an old shoulder ligament injury has allready flared up. That's one for me allready. Personally i average around 3 to four a season. The following rates are per 1000 hours (games and practice) and only include injuries in which a player left the field or missed a game. A vast majority (aka almost all) of injuries were sustained during games. Unlike most other sports, as the level of play increases so does the injury rate. Women's "senior" Rugby: 20.5 Men's rugby: Wallabies 69 recreational 14-53 note: The study this came from had three classifications: Mild (one game missed or had to leave a single game), Moderate (two to three games), Severe (more than three games). Most rugby injuries are regarded as severe. In comparison, most football injuries are regarded as minor. Rugby players often do not report injuries (because they cannot return to the field unless they leave due to blood). Thus, the actual injury rate is likely a bit higher than recorded in this study. Head and neck injuries were the most prevalent followed by the legs, upper limbs (including the shoulder), and torso in that order. The most severe injuries were centered on the legs (the knee in particular accounted for 25% of serious injuries). Fractures in the fingers and dislocated shoulders were seen to be "fairly common". Most injuries were sustained while being tackled followed by tackling. Other common ways included rucking and mauling and, finally, scrumming.

Answer 3

At its most serious - death at its simplest minor abrasions and cuts. Because the game has minimal body armour and is a very high contact sport concussion, cuts bruising, bone brakes, muscular, ligament tendon damage joint dislocation are expected despite actions to reduce these. There is even a case of eye gouging recently where police action and that of the IRB are in process.

Answer 4

Rugby is played on a grass field, although sand and clay are permitted, provided they are not dangerous. Winter condition frequently see sand more that grass visible A surface, such as asphalt and cement, is strictly forbidden. The place where rugby is played is variously referred to as the field of play, the playing field, the rugby field and the pitch, but they all mean the same its up to those referring which they will use.

The pitch (field)

The area at the centre of the ground is the field of play, which measures no more than 100 metres long by no more than 70 metres wide by IRB Rules.
