Injuries

Question
I am doing a research project in school and I was wondering if you could tell me the major muscles used and most common injuries for a lock. I can't seem to find any stats, or if you know a place I can look please let me know. Thank you very much. Erica

Answer
Hello Erica

I suspect ankle injuries are more common for locks. Rugby in general seems to have a lot of calf injuries. Also shoulder.

I suggest going to the New Zealand version of Yahoo:

and searching for medical studies on rugby from the universities and "technical institutions"

Good luck
