Hey buddy, just got your message! Congrats on your team win!! Its always a rush when your team comes away with a win-especially if you've got the bruises to show for it lol..yes many a time I went into work and was pulled aside by the boss or concerned workmates and asked sternly 'Annie, is everything ok at home'..due to the huge bruises on my arms and legs but i just happily explain that i play womens rugby..then its all smiles as they sit back and ask how the game went...lol..ah yes good times...Unfortunately im benchwarmer for the duration of this season due to torn cruciax knee ligament - silly opposition tackled my left knee as opposed the ball in my hands..bahaha..however she shouted a round of drinks in the clubrooms afterwards so that ended well too..remember buddy..what goes on the field..stays on the field..HAHAHA..
Just stumbled across your page and thought I say hi. Please take this in the spirit in which it is given…there is something about women who play contact sports! The girl that I dated my first tour in the Navy, I met while playing an ice hockey game. I had this player (which I didn’t know at the time was female) open ice checked me…completely cleaned my clock! We dated for the next year.
Take care and Keep hitting!

Healing injuries is not my forte. But perhaps if you consult with divedoc, he could provide a much educated and more qualified answer. He is a Doctor you know! As for participating in the next rugby match and how not to get hurt or you are afraid you might get hurt, is kind of like me telling you that I won't drive a car for fear of an accident. Accidents are just that, Accidents! you can't plan them but you can prepare for one in the event that you face another. Best answer, consult with your teammates to discuss the issue of how to best provide protection without comprimizing your skils.
