- Smart mouthguards are the latest innovation in sports technology and are being used in the men's Six Nations for the first time.
They are fitted with micro-sensors that measure the force and acceleration in the head when there is a collision.
Coaches believe it is a step towards helping to better understand collision sports, but some of the research has been questioned by concussion experts.

While new smart mouth guards are welcome surely it’s not impossible to incorporate smart technology into and onto the rugby ball to give an indication of pressure and exact location on the park , there must be something that can be done to aide officials in awarding or denying a score
I reckon we should dial it back if anything 🤷♂️
Just because you add the word "smart" to something doesn't make the concept bullet proof.
It's not meant to stop head injuries, it's mean to prevention the continued play with a head injury.
but it doesn't work and it's a mess. these people are just unhappy control freaks.
Rugby needs to invest in a deceleration helmet or jaw guard. Only way is if the guard attaches to a fitting around the players upper body like an exoskeleton frame that runs up behind the neck and shoulders, so that when a shoulder hits the chin guard the impact is absorbed through the upper.body harness and not the players head. Teaching technique has a very low ceiling on how much good it can do, a real solution has to remove the reliance on human behaviour being the primary mitigating factor in reducing head injury. Most non combat full contact sports would be interested in such tech as it would do the most to prevent lawsuits by providing a real measure of protection.
I’m all for safety but 75% of concussions are suffered by the tackler not the ball carrier and this is more to do with technique and getting your head in the right spot.
That said in recent years I’ve seen the advent of the American football style chop tackle, that looks more like a no attempt to wrap low hit. This is dangerous to the ball carrier’s knees and legs in general and probably more dangerous to the tackler as the recklessness of the tackle puts their head in the worse location, near the knees of the running opponent.
I am all for player safety, but will this mean teams will need 15 subs? Maybe more?
its complete surveillance culture tyranny. they keep taking our players off, the players feel fine, they're told they're not fine, a week later they're still fine.. BUT we're told they had to come off and the mouth guard was right.
If you don't want to get hurt , don't play Rugby ….might as well just play touch rugby.
these policy wonks like Greenberg are remorseless.. they want total control
There are absolutely no mouthguards that can save you from a kick in the face !
well obviously... but it's also obvious this is a step up from where we were.
now in practice and games they can have a better chance of more consistent plays by not over doing anything, by preventing concussions alone and letting them heal could benefit the team more than letting them continue playing... it's just more information to pull from when setting teams and games.
how long is each person best left to rest? whos best to rush forward whos injury was worse etc etc.
I love how BBC can't post one video without sex bots and Muslim bots within 0.2 nano-seconds

No, but ending football in general could end such injuries. It's time for a better smarter sport anyways, enough rolling in the mud over a ball, time for discus to come back or something.
6 nations? what has that got to do with smart gumshields? Oh I see, most numpties only watch the northern hemisphire amateur game.
