Abstract
Neck injuries from rugby are not a new phenomenon, but their incidence began to increase alarmingly in the 1980s. Calls for a central register of injuries have been made since 1977 but for practical reasons attempts to set one up have been unsuccessful. Advice on prevention therefore lacks a scientific basis, but it is possible to discuss measures to reduce the incidence of neck injuries, to limit the damage caused when they do occur and to provide for the long-term welfare of the minority who suffer permanent disability.
