Welcome to the IRB Rugby Ready Course. Rugby is a unique game with much to be proud of. We need to ensure collectively that we prepare thoroughly to play the game and if and when injuries do occur, we manage that process properly.

... players playing this sport are properly trained, have the necessary physical attributes, particularly for their position and awareness of the risk of injury and the ability to, as far as possible, with training and programming, to avoid injury.
– The Medical Perspective –
It all starts with preparation... So injury prevention – a lot of that is based within the gym environment.It's a collective responsibility for everybody ...anybody that's within the game should have a responsibility towards safety and having an understanding of what good practice is.
– The Coache's Perspective
...the most important thing for a referee, is, before you start the game is to make sure there's someone on site. So you don't start the game unless there's a medically trained person there who can deal with injuries.
– The Referee's Perspective –
All our courses are based on competence assessment. So we have to make sure that they're competent before they can move on. ...the 'how to coach' skills are based on safety; we follow the laws, which hopefully will give the coach those life skills ... And anything that has a safety message with it, we have to spread that knowledge, we have to share with other people, because safety is of paramount importance if the game is to continue to develop and become the enjoyable game that we know it can be.
– The Educator's Perspective –
Clubs should register all their players first of all and make sure they have some basic training and knowledge of the game before they're allowed to partake...players themselves must take on a big part of the responsibility in getting themselves fit, staying fit and reporting their injuries.
– The Medical Perspective –
