[WATCH] Common injuries caused by rugby

Rugby is a contact-based sport that can be physically strenuous.

The most dangerous aspect of rugby is tackling, which subjects players to harsh impact. Tackles are responsible for at least half of all professional rugby injuries.

Concussions, as well as dislocations, are common rugby injuries. To mitigate the risk of injury on the field, rugby players have to prepare through rigorous physical exercise. This builds up the necessary muscle groups needed to play the high impact sport.
