"Rugby is a contact sport and it is high risk. Many studies show that the risks of injury are unacceptably high and result in time off school and play. It should not be compulsory for school children to play rugby. UK Governments and the English Rugby Union are failing to comply with International standards set by the World Health Organisation on injury surveillance and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The failure to collect data on rugby injuries and the risks and outcomes of injuries is verging on the criminally negligent."

- As stated by Professor Allyson Pollock
