Q.5- Why do rugby players use wrist and ankle supports?

Rugby players use wrist and ankle supports to provide stability, protection, and injury prevention during matches and training.

Ankle supports offer additional reinforcement to the ankle joint, guarding against twists and sprains that can occur during sudden changes in direction or collisions. These supportive accessories contribute to player confidence, allowing them to perform with reduced fear of injury, enhancing both safety and performance on the rugby field.
