Is it safe is to play rugby on an artificial turf pitch?
Yes. Safety continues to be the major concern amongst players when it comes to artificial turf, which has been wrongly accused of causing more injuries than natural grass. A study by the National Football League in the United States concluded there were slightly fewer serious injuries on artificial turf compared to natural grass, though synthetic fields reported more minor injuries. Serious injury was defined as one causing a player to miss one or two games.
