Protective Scrum Caps in Modern Rugby

A rugby headguard, often called a scrum cap, fits snugly over a player's head and fastens under the chin with a padded strap. Designed primarily to prevent surface injuries like cuts and ear abrasions during tight formations, it remains a common piece of equipment on the field.

How Soft Rugby Headgear Works

Modern scrum caps are crafted from lightweight polyethylene foam encased in breathable synthetic fabric. Unlike hard football helmets, rugby caps must remain flexible so they do not injure opposing players during tackles and scrums.
