Rugby in England so far this season
3 prem clubs down the drain
Championship in revolt
Grassroots on its knees, further destroyed by the ridiculous tackle law decision.
No hope or belief we have a chance at world cup.
The @RFU needs to be torn up and started again.
Top work @RFU. Clearly listened to to the public outrage, decided our opinions don't matter and did it anyway. Joke of an establishment. We look forward to the vote of no confidence.
Law Variations Approved to Lower Tackle Height in Community Rugby Union in England from 1 July

A dramatic five minutes of action between @LeicesterTigers and @ExeterChiefs 😳
Chris Ashton is denied Premiership try 100, before Olly Woodburn is given his marching orders after receiving a second yellow. Leicester are awarded a penalty try.

The real way to hurt these fools is to hit their pockets. If you are going to any six nations games. Too late for a ticket refund. But you can start by not buying a pint on site. Put your money in to the local businesses instead.
Never been more proof that Rfu couldn't care less about the opinions of those that play the sport. Willing to lose a generation of players and edge their bets that the next generation won't be deterred. If there is no club for these to move up into. There is no game.
With all the understandable noise around the tackle height @RFU please don’t lose sight of the fact that the proposed annual adult registration requirement will also act as a barrier to participation, just when that is the last thing the game needs #PleaseRethink
The grassroots revolt against the RFU’s new tackle law escalated last night after the clubs of Staffordshire demanded their council member table a motion calling for the decision to be overturned https://t.co/kLcziq1moR
FACT...your RFU Councillor is bricking it.
They realise they've failed and are scratching around for justification for not consulting or representing you. (they know doesn't exist).
Politely email them and let them know your feelings on their vote. It is making a difference
@chrisyoung1987@Scienceofsport@har91015 I'm not blaming Ross for the decision, we all know it's the guys in suits at RFU. I'm just stating it's a ridiculous decision.
Luckily there is enough outrage you'd think they will reverse the decision fairly quickly.
@mcgeo99 @SteveGoldspink@chrismccormack1@davidflatman No it didn't. And this tweet of yours shows just how much you know about rugby. I assume you played for your school team on the wing 👍
I played in the season of the Championship Cup where the ‘below nipple height’ tackle law was trialled in 2018.
It led to more penalties, more cards, a less enjoyable game, and most importantly, I believe, more concussions.
This isn’t a good move for our community game.
