Rugby



Rugby is a very physical sport, which also means that its players are at a high risk of incurring injuries. Consider securing sports travel insurance if you plan to play rugby during a trip.

Most rugby accidents involve the arms and hands, the shoulders, back, and other parts of the body's lower extremity. Mild injuries include bruising, inflammation, abrasion, and lacerations. Fractures, whether in the head, shoulders, arms, hands, or legs, are very dangerous - some may even require surgery. The high cost of such surgical treatments can take the fun out of an otherwise enjoyable rugby trip, especially if you do not have sports travel insurance.

More serious consequences of rugby accidents include dislocation, facial and dental injuries, and hemorrhage. In worst cases, rugby accidents involving collisions can cause multiple system traumas. These injuries need careful medical attention, which can run up to very expensive bills if you are not insured.

Even if you only plan to play light rugby, you are still at risk. High tackles and scrums on the rugby field sometimes cause grave spine injuries and neck injuries - both of which could possibly cause paralysis. The risk of your injury escalates if you have had previous rugby-related injury from which you have not yet recovered.

With rugby carrying a Grade 3 risk level, there is a high chance of being injured. Thus, the purchase of travel insurance is advisable.
