South Africa set to introduce the blue card to rugby

Rugby has yellow and red cards‚ white cards were trialed before‚ and now prepare yourself for the blue card.

The latest initiative by SA Rugby is aimed at targeting and managing the scourge of concussion in rugby.

The Blue Card‚ which signals players who need to be removed from the field due to a concussion or suspected concussion‚ will be rolled out across South Africa in the next few weeks at all levels of the game.

The only exception will be elite adult tournaments or matches where World Rugby have approved the use of HIA (Head Injury Assessments).
