A comparison was made between the number of rugby injuries seen between 1956 and 1982 (67) and the number of rugby injuries seen between 1982 and 1987 (20). The standards, the positions, the mechanics of injury and the fitness of the players were analysed. It was concluded that the law changes had resulted in a dramatic fall in the number of players injured, that it was the less fit and less skilled players that were getting injured, and that the laws were adequate but were not being enforced.
对1956年至1982年期间出现的橄榄球受伤案例数量（67例）与1982年至1987年期间出现的橄榄球受伤案例数量（20例）进行了比较。分析了受伤的标准、位置、机制以及球员的健康状况。得出的结论是，规则的改变导致受伤球员数量大幅下降，受伤的是身体状况较差、技术较不熟练的球员，而且规则是适当的，但未得到执行。
