Injuries are an inevitable part of sport. Fuller's kinetic model is a useful tool that can be applied to many sports and scenarios, to help to inform squad size discussions, training scheduling and general planning.

Ahead of a big rugby weekend, thought I'd offer a little insight into when the risk of head injuries is highest, and how World Rugby has tried to nudge behaviour towards safety (the Red and Yellow cards you see, that is). So here's a little tutorial!
