Question

What are the most common positional injuries in rugby?

Answer 1

This depends a lot on your position.

Front row tends to be neck & back.

Otherwise, lower body.

Answer 2

Front Row = Back and neck due to scrums collapsing.



Second Row = Occasioanally back because of scrummaging and awkward leaning and landing in lineouts. Plus they are generally very tall so this puts added strain on their spine.

Back Row = Everything because of putting themselves about in rucks, mainly shoulders though.

All of the backs = No real common injury.

Answer 3

knee injuries
