@Georgeej123 @Dougtrotter47 @nick_easter@RFU Mental impact! Seriously?! Imagine no law change and in 30 years time he has early onset dementia from multiple head impacts - that’s mental impact. Speak to all the parents who don’t want their kids to play rugby due to the current risks
@Dougtrotter47 @nick_easter@RFU They make a balls-up of interpreting virtually all the laws don’t they, so you’re right this will probably be no different 😂 Once the new guidance is published we’ll find out more. I think it will be contact below the ball as an easy demarcation that way heads are not in danger
@Dougtrotter47 @nick_easter@RFU The same way we tell now if the contact is at shoulder height or below 🤷♂️ it’s pretty easy to see if someone hits above or below the rib cage as the ball is usually being carried around that height
@Dougtrotter47 @nick_easter@RFU And it’s ok the the 5’4 lads to not be able to tackle him ‘high’ at the moment - are they getting concussed having to tackle your son around the mid-torso?
@Dougtrotter47 @nick_easter@RFU It’s worth remembering that we were all taught to tackle low as kids…RL will probably end up the same way at some point too
@Scienceofsport Thanks for sharing this Ross. The unsuccessful Championship Cup study immediately comes to mind here. Have other studies been undertaken since to assess the effect of actually changing the laws to lower tackle height?

@DavidCooper_uk@DrDavid_Rhodes@TheSSTofficial@BASRaTorg I would agree on all those points. Industry certainly doesn’t recognise the skill set enough and is looking towards S&C for rehab 🤦♂️. There are isolated examples of great practice in sport but it hasn’t spread enough so far
