Scrummaging is the main cause of hematoma auris. This is normally cased by continual banging against the ear - exactly what occurs in the from row when the two front rows engage. It also affects the locks on both ears and the number 8. If you are a lose head prop you normally see one ear damaged after a period of time - Flankers do get this condition in a mild form as they have Noe ear in the majority rubbing against the side of the prop they support. Most player either wear an enclosed scrum cap OR tape the ear. It does take a reasonably long period of activity to make this happen

I would only worry about cauliflower ears if the pain consists and your ear(s) begin to swell.. Hope this helps.

No, not unless your ear is struck repeatedly with the phone. Cauliflower ear is a deformity of the external ear caused by infection or trauma; boxers, wrestlers and rugby players are prone to this. This normally occurs when small blood vessels that supply the outer portions of the ear become damaged or blocked by blood clots, this results in permanent deformation of the outer portions of the ear, so that the ear may resemble a "cauliflower". If the damage and condition already exists if may be able to be treated through cosmetic surgery.
