Do Scrum Caps Prevent Head Injuries?

While scrum caps provide some protection from impact, they don’t stop concussions. However, they help prevent abrasions while providing some cushioning to reduce impact on your head during collisions.

Who Should Wear Scrum Caps?

Forwards, second-row, and back-row players often wear rugby headguards. This is due to the intense pressure on their heads during scrums and the risk of harm when competing for the ball in rucks. Scrum hats are considered essential kit for rugby players of all positions, as they offer an extra layer of safety, helping you play your best without worry.
