World Rugby adopting smart mouthguards to spot head injuries

World Rugby has announced that it will use smart mouthguards to help spot head injuries in real-time with in-game alerts.

Data from the mouthguards will be sent directly to pitch-side doctors to quickly decide whether a player needs to be taken off for a head injury assessment following a heavy collision.
