Blue Card

BLUE CARD - PLAYER SAFETY

The Blue Card initiative is an important process to ensure player welfare and will be in force from the 2017 Rugby Union Season. This page is intended for community player welfare information and for Counties Manukau Rugby Referees Association (CMRRA) referees.

In addition to Rugby Smart, all CMRRA Referees must complete the Blue Card training and presentation.

We want to ensure that anyone involved in rugby - players, coaches, refs and family - know what to look out for and what to do when they suspect a player has sustained a concussion.

We all have a role to play in recognizing, removing and helping to manage concussions. Follow the below links for more information about recognising and helping to manage concussion.
