00:00 I always loved getting a particular sports bra sometimes, but I don't know too much about
00:05 it to be honest.
00:06 It's something that I would love to learn about a bit more in the women's game as it
00:11 is such a contact sport and we are getting hit around that area.
00:17 I think with the education we can get would be amazing.
00:20 I usually try to find a comfortable and tight bra so I'm not in discomfort worrying about
00:28 my bra falling down underneath my jersey.
00:31 I find it really funny because all us girls we like sometimes tend to help each other
00:36 out and give each other options on which ones are more supportive and some that aren't as
00:42 tight.
00:43 Obviously the number one thing is support.
00:46 I mean across the board in Rugby 7s we've got all different sorts of body shapes and
00:51 body types.
00:52 So number one being support so that we are minimising any type of postural or thoracic
00:58 tightness which can then transfer into other tightness and potential injury.
01:03 And then bringing in a little bit around protection as well.
01:07 Breast health is something I think that we are slowly understanding better.
01:11 There's a lot of research happening currently in this space and I think as that research
01:17 comes through we'll probably have a better tool kit to identify breast injuries and then
01:22 how to manage them.
01:23 I think just getting people that do know about it and can help us in any way would be amazing
01:28 to come in and teach us and educate us.
