# Rugby: World Rugby has announced high-tech mouthguards will be used in the Women’s World Cup, starting in England next week. The smart gumshields will light up red when the wearer suffers a heavy head impact and send an alert to the medical team. They will then advise the referee to stop play. Reuters reports the LED mouthguards will also be implemented in top-flight competitions after the tournament. The governing body says the move is aimed at improved player safety and the reduction of concussion.
