New Zealand Rugby Foundation 3.91

No one ever wants to consider the unimaginable; to permanently lose their mobility due to a rugby accident. But sadly, it does occur as in other physical sports and recreational activities. Rugby is a contact sport, but we are all committed, with the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) to actively reducing the risks.
The NZRU in partnership with ACC runs the RugbySmart programme, a world-leading injury prevention programme that helps coaches, referees and players identify safe and good techniques in a variety of situations to better prepare them on the field (for more information visit www.rugbysmart.co.nz).
The Foundation’s core business is;
1. Supporting catastrophically injured rugby players financially and emotionally through fund raising and other activities.
2. Fund raising activities/projects…
3. Working with the New Zealand Rugby Union to communicate the message of safety first.
