Thus, I have produced a 45 page (A4 size) paper that addresses almost every possible point concerning the scrum and scrummaging coaching with headings such as: History, Technique, Tactics, Safety & Risk Management, Problem Solving and Preparation. Spinal and Neck Injuries Prevention in Contact Sports (SNIP). From 1996 till 2001 I was a Director and Adviser to the Board of SPINESAFE Ltd. in the area of Prevention & Awareness of Spinal Cord Injuries. Professor John D.Yeo AO founded this self-funded community-oriented program in 1983. My responsibility referred specifically to the Sports and Leisure Injuries Division. Maintaining the main focus on "Prevention & Awareness" of injuries in Rugby, I have developed with the contribution from fitness professionals, doctors and physiotherapists, a program for Spinal and Neck Injuries Prevention in Contact Sports (SNIP). This material was presented at a conference titled "Football Australasia Reducing the Injury List", in July 1998, at the Melbourne-Hilton on the Park Hotel, organised by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. The SNIP program was developed following sound Risk Management foundations, and based on the principles of proactive Planning & Preparation. SNIP has not been implemented in Australia yet due to insufficient funding and lack of organisational infrastructure.
