Sure, a winger can wear a scrum cap if they want to protect their noggin. It's not against the rules or anything. Just make sure it fits snugly so it doesn't fly off when they're running like a bat out of hell down the field.

When a rugby player holds their position in a scrum, they are primarily using an isometric muscular contraction. In an isometric contraction, the muscle generates tension without changing length. This type of contraction is essential for maintaining stability and resisting external forces, such as the pushing and shoving in a scrum.

I say rugby is harder than netball as i play rugby myself and the injuries are quite horrible as they could lead to head ache or concussion not just injuries but the speed and agility you need to have is outstanding, as netball is more of a shooting game, yes, you need speed and other sorts of things just like rugby but you are standing still and as it is a non contact game ( correct me if I’m wrong!) i find it wouldn’t be as hard as rugby.

Friction is desirable in rugby when players need to grip the ball, push against opponents in scrums or mauls, and maintain stability during tackles.
