"The iRB and USA Rugby have worked collectively to ensure that safety is a top priority for the sport of rugby. Having been involved for over 15 years, I have been impressed with the level of coaching provided to the athletes who participate in this sport. Through this coaching, the athletes are taught the correct skillset to decrease the risk of injury as well as allowing them to play the game as it was meant to be played."
