INTRODUCTION
When scrummaging in a rugby match, front-row players are subjected to considerable mechanical stress, particularly in the shoulders and neck, as a result of the impact with the opposition and the positioning of their heads. In order to characterize these stresses, an ergometer was designed to measure the support and head extension forces generated by a single player. The player's performance was assessed in this way, making it possible to identify potentially risky behaviours on the pitch.
