Some of the players taking to the field at Rugby World Cup are equipped with smart mouthguards - measuring the force of each hit they take.

It's part of a study by World Rugby and of Univetrsity of Otago - which has so far measured over 38-thousand head impacts from over 700 people.

It's being lead by Professor Melanie Bussey who joined Māni Dunlop.
