Red alert? Mouthguards will flash in potential concussions

Players at the upcoming Women’s Rugby World Cup in England will wear mouthguards that flash brightly if they are hit hard enough to cause a concussion, World Rugby says.

The mouthguard works by measuring how much a player’s head moves up and down and rotates during a collision, The Guardian has reported.
