Saracens players trial sensors aimed at measuring head trauma
English rugby side Saracens players participating in Saturday's victory over London Irish wore sensors to measure the force and direction of impacts to the head.
The gadgets, used for the first time in England having been introduced into the National Football League in the United States, are taped behind the ear and will help determine the effects of concussion.
