SPOS Sub-Directory v1.1 — SPORT::Rugby (Union / League) — Almost-Code

Module: SPOS.RGB
Lane: LANE::SPORT_PERFORMANCE
Sport Type: high contact + high speed + repeated collisions + complex team systems (concussion/shoulder/knee risk governance is core)


0) Definition Lock (Rugby)

SPORT::Rugby (SPOS.RGB)
= repeatable match performance (collision competence × skill × decision × conditioning × team system execution)
across training and fixtures,
while keeping concussion and injury risk (head/neck/shoulder/knee) below threshold.
Output is “safe, reliable contribution under collision load” + “availability”.

1) Rugby Phase Model (P0–P3)

P3
- tackle technique safe and stable under fatigue
- conditioning supports repeated collisions and high-speed running
- decision speed reliable; system roles clear
- concussion risk managed; injury time-loss low
- team cohesion stable under pressure
P2
- strong when fresh, technique breaks late (high-risk tackles)
- contact confidence fluctuates
- recurring shoulder/neck/knee soreness
- inconsistent system execution under fast play
P1
- frequent missed sessions due to injuries
- repeated head-impact symptoms risk; confidence issues
- poor tackle form under fatigue; penalty and injury rate rises
- system confusion; late-game collapse
P0
- significant concussion/neurological red flags or major injury
- cannot train/compete safely/reliably

Failure-mode trace (rugby-specific):

Z1 collision load spike + Z0 poor recovery
→ Z0 tackle technique degrades under fatigue
→ Z0 head/neck/shoulder injury risk rises
→ Z2 missed sessions + fear/avoidance
→ P2 → P1 → P0 (concussion or major injury)
Repair: collision governance + tackle technique gating + recovery buffers + medical enforcement.

2) Time-Flow (Ancient → Modern) — Collision Team Contest Function

TIMEFLOW::COLLISION_TEAM_FUNCTION
T0–T1: mock combat + cohesion rituals; warrior conditioning
T2: folk games with mass contact; rivalry regulation
T3: codified rugby codes; clubs + schools; refereeing legitimacy
T4: professionalization + sport science + global competitions
T5: safety/regulation era: concussion protocols, tackle-height rules, load governance, safeguarding

3) Rugby Primitives (What Must Be Built)

RGB::Primitives
PR0 Tackle technique (head position, wrap, leg drive, finish)
PR1 Contact readiness (brace, fall skills, body control)
PR2 Ruck/contest skills (body position, decision legality)
PR3 Ball skills under pressure (catch-pass, offload, kick options)
PR4 Speed + repeat sprint ability (RSA) + fatigue tolerance
PR5 Strength base (neck/shoulders/hips) + tissue robustness
PR6 Decision speed (reads, spacing, defensive line integrity)
PR7 System roles (forwards/backs structures; set-piece execution)
PR8 Concussion governance + injury literacy + medical compliance
PR9 Team communication + trust under chaos

4) Z0–Z3 Directory (Rugby)

R0.RG4 fall/landing skills training
R0.RG5 graded contact exposure to rebuild confidence safely
R0.RG6 collision governance: cap full-contact; more technique-contact than war contact

5) Rugby Instrument Panel (Decimal-Phase Friendly)

STATE::RUGBY
- CollisionDose CD = full-contact minutes + tackle count proxy
- HeadRisk HR = symptom flags + head-knock incidents
- Technique T = tackle technique score under fatigue
- InjuryRisk IR = neck/shoulder/knee pain trend
- SystemExec SE = line integrity + breakdown penalties + transition errors
- Recovery Rec = sleep + fatigue trend
- Confidence C = contact confidence index
Phase Estimator:
IF CD governed AND HR low AND T stable AND SE improving → P3 drift
IF HR rising OR CD spikes OR T collapses late-game → P2/P1 warning
IF concussion/major injury stops play or medical red flags → P0 risk

6) Canonical Rugby Repair Protocols

Protocol RGB-A: “Concussion / Head-Risk Containment (Non-Negotiable)”

Trigger: any symptom or suspected head impact with red flags
1) remove from play immediately
2) medical evaluation; follow return-to-play ladder strictly
3) no same-day return
4) re-entry only when symptom-free and cleared
5) long-term: reduce contact dose + reinforce head-safe tackling

Protocol RGB-B: “Tackle Technique Collapse Under Fatigue”

1) reduce collision intensity temporarily; focus on technique reps
2) rebuild low tackle position + head placement + wrap/drive
3) fatigue-proofing: technique reps late in session at controlled intensity
4) simplify decision cues to reduce panic tackles
5) reintroduce full contact with strict caps and monitoring

Protocol RGB-C: “Shoulder/Neck Overuse / Recurrent Injuries”

Trigger: pain trend rising >7 days or repeated stingers
1) reduce contact; adjust training role temporarily
2) strengthen: neck isometrics + scapular stability + posterior chain
3) improve fall mechanics and tackle entry angles
4) gradual return to contact with gates
5) audit: contact dose, recovery, pairing mismatches

7) SPOS↔CivOS Integration (Rugby)

CivOS Link:
- Rugby is “controlled violence with governance”:
it tests whether a system can coordinate safety, roles, and high-risk behavior under pressure.
- Brittleness risk: macho culture + weak concussion enforcement → hidden fragility → irreversible harm.
- Repair: strict medical governance, contact load caps, and technique-first pipelines.
