 Where does it hurt?
FOOT AND ANKLE
There are numerous injuries that can be sustained by the foot and ankle. Sprains and strains commonly occur.

Backs are vulnerable to leg injuries, particularly torn tendons and ligaments of the ankle and knee, as a result of running, swerving and side-stepping at speed.

Hookers, locks and loose forwards are also vulnerable to ankle injuries.
