🏉World Rugby Mouthguard and Community Project🏉
We’re incredibly excited to announce that both our men’s and women’s rugby squads will be taking part in an international research project funded by
As part of the project, our players have had Instrumented Mouthguards (iMGs) individually fitted by specialist researchers and dental professionals using digital scans to ensure a perfect fit.
The mouthguards will be worn during training sessions and matches throughout the season, collecting valuable data on the level and amount of contact each player experiences.
This research will help World Rugby better understand contact in the youth game and contribute to the ongoing development of player welfare, safety and the future of rugby💪🏼
