What does “World Rugby Approved” mean?

World Rugby sets safety and performance standards for protective equipment worn during matches. Scrum caps must meet strict requirements related to:

    •    Padding thickness

Products that meet these requirements are tested and certified as compliant for use in official matches.

The marking is typically located:

    •    On the rear panel of the scrum cap

    •    Inside the seam or interior label

    •    Occasionally printed in silver or black depending on the manufacturer
