PREVENTION, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION

The Foundation isn’t just the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. We support leading-edge research into injury prevention and also promote for safe play for all New Zealand rugby players. We champion safety in the game we love, so when a player even steps on to a pitch, we know that they will be playing and refereed in a way that ensures safety and is backed by peer reviewed and published research.

We also partner with education institutions on ground-breaking research to enable better concussion management and work closely with our partners New Zealand Rugby and ACC, to encourage fewer rugby injuries through prevention and outward education.
