Remember back then it was more like rugby. *Forward pass was introduced in 1906, maybe this is why they're testing helmets.

No helmets in rugby still though!

There are, don't know which levels wear them. They are simple padded helmets. Good for jostling, not for collisions.

Scrum caps. Worn at all levels. Padding around the ears to prevent caulie lug

Hard helmets are forbidden in rugby.
