Rugby leaders admitted to Sky News that their sport was not “incredibly sure” due to the “high risk of injury”, while players must be encouraged that they have priority to concussion problems.
The franchise on the dangers of head collisions comes from the advance on the Women’s Rugby World Cup from Sunderland next week.
During this tournament, for the first time during a World Cup, intelligent mouthpieces flash in red if they detect potential brain concussions which require a more in-depth evaluation by measuring strength and movement from an impact of the head.
“We could stick our head in the sand and claim that something does not exist, but that will help no one,” said Dr. Lindsay Starling, responsible for rugby and medical science Sky News.
“It is a sport which has a high risk of injury and which comes from the nature of physical contact of the game, which is also what we all like to look at it. And therefore that cannot be ignored.
“We cannot claim that sport is incredibly safe and that there is no risk of injury. And therefore by creating more awareness when there has been a substantial whim, which is important to educate people.”

It is expected that a player per game could be deleted due to a potential head injury during the World Cup, which opens with England playing the United States in Sunderland next Friday.
The players would then leave the field for an assessment of the head injuries. The images are then analyzed to see how stable players are after the impact.
Then, they would be asked a series of questions to test memory and concentration. Players are invited to remember the words of a read list and repeat numbers in a different sequence.
A critical period for rugby
Rugby being so candid as to the potential risks of head injuries arises while sport faces legal action of more than 700, mainly former male players who claim that leaders have neglected not to have taken reasonable measures to protect them from brain damage.
The case is progressing slowly with challenges, including around historic medical records.
“The concussion is obviously incredibly serious,” said Dr. Starling at the headquarters of the England team in Twickenham.

“It is absolutely our number one priority in terms of understanding why they happen and to do what we can to reduce this.
“The other side of this argument, however, is that we know this information. It would be more scary or more concern if we did not know.”
World Rugby thinks that players are more likely to be a commoded than their male counterparts but to “much lower amplitudes”.
They always explore why. This could be due to physical differences in the force of the neck and the metabolic rates of blood circulation, or it could be combined with players who acted more technical training later.
Parental concern about the female game

But how is the spectrum of brain injuries adapted to the mission of the World Cup to count the female game in England, widening the public and encouraging young people to play?
Especially with those who flash the bottle protectors warning potential brain concresses.
Dr. Starling admits that this creates a concern. But for parents to doubt if their children should take rugby, there is an attempt to offer insurance from those who supervise security, citing improved technology.
“We have never been in a situation where we know more about the risk,” said World Rugby chief doctor Dr Eanna Falvey in Sky News.
“This will improve over time, so our work is to give parents autonomy to make a decision they can about their daughter’s game.
Ferocity at the heart of rugby

“If their daughter wants to play, we want to help them make a decision that is satisfied with the level of exposure of the girl and what they can do on this subject.
“There are a lot of health dangers not to be involved in sport. Physical inactivity is the largest health problem in the Western world at the moment.
“So being involved in team sport has enormous advantages.”
And Professor Falvey stressed that the essence of rugby is sometimes ferocity.
“It’s a contact sport,” he said. “No one stands out for this fact. I think people playing play play there because they want to play contact sport. Our job is to make this game as sure as possible.”
