stevew61/LBSWM/anyone? - help with rugby

My son had his first ever rugby practice last week and LOVED it.
However, I was very concerned to see (once all the mud had washed off) that he'd ended up with a black eye, bruised cheekbone (the other side) and, he later told me, he'd had a nose bleed, and one again the following morning, thanks to throwing himself onto someone's upturned boot
Please tell me that they teach them how to protect their faces. Or is this something that they are thought naturally to do and that my reckless son is just not doing?
They've got practice again tomorrow and Tuesday and I'd love for him to keep it up, but I just don't want him battered and bruised.
Do they wear those protective helmets? Or are they considered naff?
Thanks in advance,
Scatshouse.
