Which has more concussions, rugby league or union?

Which has more concussions, rugby league or union?

After delving into the topic, I've found that both rugby league and union have their fair share of concussions. However, research indicates that rugby union might just edge ahead with a slightly higher rate of concussions. The physical nature and tackling style of the game could contribute to this trend. Yet, it's important to note that both sports are working to improve player safety and reduce the risk of head injuries. Concussion awareness and management in both games have also significantly improved over the years.
