They can to a degree from direct impact like a punch. Softens the blow a small amount. But yeah rugby league is more conducive to the whiplash type concussion when getting smashed in a tackle or hitting the ground and head gear, even giant NFL helmets do relative jack to stop concussionsthe concussion experts will come in and tell you that head gear does not fix or reduce concussion.
