About Rugby Research & Injury Prevention Group

RRIPG plans to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between health professionals in sports medicine and science and the rugby community. We would like to allow people and groups to improve their understanding of what has been completed, is being conducted, and can be found in the literature to aid player welfare and safety, through our website. Individuals can use this site to connect to news sites, union sites, and safety information and guidelines, domestically and from around the world in sport, and in rugby. Our Board has many relationships in the local, regional, national and global rugby community and sports. The group is comprised of professionals from various backgrounds, including experts in sports science and medicine, traumatology, orthopedics, pain management, dieticians, athletic trainers, physiotherapists, and statisticians. Their focus is on obtaining the proper data needed to nurture health and safety in the U.S. rugby playing population. Player welfare is a critical issue and is inherently entwined with the continued growth of rugby in America. RRIPG’s goal is to analyze rates and causes of injuries in rugby codes, on the levels of play, of the multiple formats whether sevens, tens, or fifteens. This is to develop injury prevention strategies with evidence-based, gender-focused and level specific data to improve player welfare.
