Rugby Pre-season 2026/27 Injury Prevention

🏉 PRE-SEASON IS HERE 🏉

The 2026/27 rugby season is fast approaching, and now is the time for players, coaches, parents, medical teams and clubs to focus on one thing:

👉 Keeping players available, healthy and performing at their best.

After more than 20 years working in elite, international and grassroots rugby, I have brought together the injury prevention, rehabilitation and return-to-play strategies that I have found to be most effective throughout my career.

Whether you are:

✅ A player wanting to stay on the pitch more consistently

✅ A coach looking to reduce injuries within your squad

✅ A parent supporting a young rugby player

✅ A physiotherapist, sports therapist, doctor or S&C coach working in rugby

✅ A club looking to improve player welfare and availability

This book has been written as a practical resource to help you prevent injuries, recover effectively and return to play with confidence.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the book so far. It has now received 20 Amazon reviews and has been used by players, coaches and clinicians across the rugby community.

🫶❤️ Appreciation Post

Thank you for all the messages of support from around the world regards the release of my new book ‘ Rugby Injury Prevention and Return to Play ‘ and thank you for the feedback 🙌🫶

The book was built from the research and my 20 + years experience to help reduce injuries and improve rehab for grassroots rugby players , coaches and therapists / medics working in Rugby Union.

It started as a lockdown project , and then it took a back step when I started working back in international rugby during the covid bubble period 🫣

Many highs and lows along the way but we got there in the end with a tough final push over the last year 😅

I hope you find it useful

250 sold today , it’s early days, but I a happy with the response

Built from the heart - always been here to help reduce rugby injury risk and improve rugby player health

Best wishes

🏉 Womens Rugby Injury Prevention and Risk Reduction

5 Key Areas of Female Specific Research that are helpful to be aware of 👌

Women’s rugby needs its own injury-prevention strategy.

Female players deserve support that reflects the actual demands of their game.

From neck strength and concussion risk, to knee control, tackle exposure, recovery and cycle awareness, injury prevention in women’s rugby should be specific, practical and evidence-led.

Current evidence also supports regular neuromuscular warm-ups and progressive contact preparation.

Swipe through the 5 areas that the sports medicine research is focussing on the most right now

Hope the post is useful

Chapter 65 : Expert advice from the Pro Rugby Sidelines

This was one of my favourite chapter ideas based off a 2008 clinics in sports medicine article

I asked over 40 former players , coaches performance staff , refs, medics , therapists , strength and conditioning nutrition, psychology etc to offer some advice on injury prevention and injury recovery.

They were asked( nicely) to either :

1. To discuss freely any concepts around injury prevention and + performance that they felt was important for rugby players to understand.

Or

2. What advice they would give to a 16 to 18 year-old player who is transitioning to Senior/ Adult Rugby from a performance and an injury prevention POV

The response was amazing and I am very grateful for the fantastic nuggets of gold from their professional experience that they have shared with the rugby world

Thank you to all those that contributed from all over the world.

I am very grateful and honoured by your presence in the book- thank you 🙏

Thank you for all the messages and support over the last week - it’s been a whirlwind and a very busy few weeks ( few years 😅)

It has been one week since the release of the book on Amazon😅🔥

Thank you to all those that have bought the book and appreciate the positive feedback, stories posts and kind words and reviews - it all really helps in the early stages🙌

From my time working in professional and international rugby and then leaving that arena , I noticed the vast differences in access to affordable rugby injury prevention and rehabilitation care and specialists for many players and coaches .

I wanted to create a resource for players and coaches and those that look after them 👍

The aim of the book is to help reduce rugby injury risk and improve rugby injury recovery journeys 🤝

Happy this long time dream has come true !

I hope it helps the rugby community 💪

Best wishes

🏉Women’s Rugby Injury Prevention: Tackle Technique

Good luck to women’s in their opening game vs today in the

Great video here by demonstrating some of the physical prep been done behind the scenes and nailing tackle technique.

Alongside the physical preparation done in the gym to improve neck and shoulder strength to create robustness in the tackle and contact area , an area that all women’s rugby players need to develop is optimal tackle technique.

Tackle technique is a highly coachable skill and massively important as part of an overall approach to improving tackle performance and reducing injury risk at the same time.

Tackle positions and shapes , footwork, head position and shoulder lead tackles are all part of the learning process that need to be continually refined and upgraded across players careers.

Good luck to all the players in the tournament and I am hoping as always for safe/ optimal and legal tackles to make the game enjoyable and safer

Let’s go

Cheers

Chris
