New Zealand Rugby Foundation

About the channel

The official channel of the New Zealand Rugby Foundation. The core work of the Foundation is; 1. Supporting catastrophically injured rugby players financially and emotionally. 2. Fund raising activities and projects 3. Working with New Zealand Rugby to communicate the message of safety first…. Injury prevention advocacy. No one ever wants to consider the unimaginable; to permanently lose their mobility due to a rugby accident. But sadly, it does occur as in other physical sports and recreational activities. Rugby is a contact sport, but we are all committed, with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) to actively reducing the risks. NZR in partnership with ACC runs the RugbySmart programme, a world-leading injury prevention programme that helps coaches, referees and players identify safe and good techniques in a variety of situations to better prepare them on the field (for more information visit www.rugbysmart.co.nz).
