Rugby: A game where safety is a top priority

Rugby is a highly physical game. To enjoy it to its utmost you need to be physically and mentally prepared. You also need to understand how to play safely.

The Rugby Ready programme educates, aids and supports players, coaches, match officials and unions on the importance of sufficient preparation for training and playing in order for rugby to be played and enjoyed while reducing the risk of serious injury.

Rugby Ready and other World Rugby information about Training and Education allows you to read material, watch video, complete an online self check test and generate an awareness certificate. Or you can contact your national union for details of face-to-face courses near you.
