Common Injuries:
Rugby is a full contact sport, so it is easy to sustain an injury when playing the sport, no matter what level you are playing at.
It is for this reason that it is vital that you have the right travel insurance to adequately cover you whilst you are on your rugby trip.
The upper body, hamstrings, knees, ankles and head are the most common areas to sustain injury when playing, due to collisions that occur throughout the game.
The increasing emphasis on speed and agility whilst playing, as well as the physical contact endured during collisions has led to a number of different types of injuries being commonly sustained through the sport as well, including strained muscles.
Some of the most common injuries that can be sustained whilst playing the sport are:
- Dislocated limps
- Broken bones and fractures
- Joint sprains
- Head injuries
- Contusions
- Lacerations
- Concussions
- Strained muscles
- Torn muscles
- Stress fractures
- Overuse injuries
If you are injured whilst playing, the way in which the injury is managed is important, to ensure a quick and full recovery.
Equipment:
Unlike with other full contact sports, such as American football, rugby does not allow for a wide range of protective clothing.
However, there are some basic items of clothing and equipment you will need if you are going to play the sport at any level.
These include:
- Rugby shirts
- Rugby boots
- Mouth guard
- Protective head guard
It is important to make sure you are wearing the right protective gear when playing the sport to avoid sustaining further injury.
Protect yourself and your equipment with the right travel insurance.
