Some advanced technology hitting the pitch! 💪⁣
⁣⁣
Flashing LED mouthguards will make their debut at next week’s Women’s Rugby World Cup, lighting up when players sustain potentially concussive impacts. 🏉⁣⁣
⁣
If the mouthguard flashes red, refs will stop play and send the athlete for a head injury assessment. ⁣ 🚨⁣
⁣⁣
The tech, which measures head movement and triggers when forces exceed safe limits, is designed to improve concussion awareness on the pitch, in the stands, and for fans watching at home. 💯⁣
⁣
World Rugby plans to roll it out across the men’s and women’s game after the tourney. 💡#thegist⁣
