Rob Nichol: Rugby Players Association CEO on the issues surrounding the launch of new smart mouthguards

Sportstalk with D'Arcy Waldegrave - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

The new smart mouthguards are intended to make sure players go off when they have a serious head injury - but they're also slowing the game down. Rugby Players Association boss Rob Nichol spoke to Jason Pine on Sportstalk about what the players make of it all, and why some of them are probably going to stop wearing them.
