    The ref makes sure all players have mouthguards. If they don't, they can't take the field.

    thats how it is for us plebs

    Refs are quite strict on kids (unsure at senior rugby) when they do the boot check, kids have to show they have a mouhtguard and are told if he sees them playing without it, they will be sent off.

    @taniwharugby the breathing issue thing reminds me of some of the mask excuses...if you...a professional athlete is having such trouble breathing with it in...then you should get yourself check out

    Wasn't there a mention in the commentary during the game that they overheard the ref saying something about a mouthguard?

    Yes, but ironically, I think it was an AB player pointing the finger at a Wallaby before a scrum.

    I have noticed that the PI players seem to be the ones who often don't wear a mouthguard.

    And aren't mouthguards shown to reduce the chance of a concussion, so double the reason to wear them with todays focus on that

    Oh calm down Karens! šŸ˜‰

    Shall we also legislate for depowered scrums because the kids are told to play rugby that way too?

    What else? No physios because some junior teams don't have them.

    Take away ABs cars because children aren't allowed to drive?

    Ban steaks because babies can't eat them?

    Surely someone can explain to kids the difference between adults and children and how family are the best role models to follow.

    Jesus, the bugger is having enough issues playing out of position but you insist he wears a distracting mouthguard so that sprogs, who'll give the game up at age 13, will feel included?

    Just joshing but there's a principle about teaching kids the difference between them and adults, just like you learned, with no life damaging consequences, back in your day.

    You turned out alright

    Mouthguards are about preventing concussion.

    World Rugby should mandate their use so Karens don't sue them (or have less grounds to sue them on).

    And given that they're specially fitted by orthodentistrotechno peeps it shouldn't really be uncomfortable. I used pharmacy bought home molded ones for years and they were no big deal.

    Yes. As others have said, mouthguards are the best way to lessen any chance of getting concussion. Headgear really only protects your head from bumps and wounds.

    The other thing is the wearing of mouthguards is meant to be mandatory and is part of the NZ player's collective agreement.

    Yes mum šŸ˜‰

    How come so many concussions with mouthguards then? I mean as the best thing to prevent concussion they're a bit shit at it.

    Cool more laws for rugby, just because an 8 year old pointed and his parents treated him as an all seeing oracle. It's the dock for you Ardie!! You're responsible for harming our children's brains with your sloppy role modelling.
    Chill people 😁

    I'm deeply sceptical of such claims. Brain injury is a result of it slamming against the skull. The physics of a shoulder to the chin aren't reduced by a bit of soft plastic protecting the upper teeth.

    Can't play without them myself, unless I'm just going to not even attempt tackles. Have put my teeth through my lips enough times even with a mouthguard to understand the value.

    Sorry I'm lost and am not able to follow your 'logic'.

    Mouthguards help reduce concussion = good.

    Some of the shop bought ones are okay, rebel sport sells laminated shock doctor ones which are well made
