ACC figures reveal extent of rugby injuries

A study of ACC claims from rugby players aged from just five years old, to 40 years old, has tallied up the number of injury claims in what's historically been the nation's favourite game.  It's found a staggering 735,657 injury claims were made between 2005 and 2017.

Specialist emergency physician, Dr John Bonning, explains what the figures tell us about how head injuries are reported.
