The fact that Rugby in both codes is a high impact game sees people getting hurt in every game played. It is the seriousness of these injuries that makes the difference. Most players take a "bump" in a game and play within 5 days again

There are no specific central records of the injury could associated with either codes. However, the NRL and IRB do monitor professional injuries feeding back that data to sports science technical staff and health and safety adviser's.

However, due to the very nature of the game there are injuries in every match played its the severity of the injury which varies.

If you count High School, College and Pro, it would be over a thousand. And many more suffer concussions, many with permanent brain damage.
