so to get this right, under this law a six foot winger running at full pace for 50m, when approached by a defender intending to tackle cannot do anything to brace for impact and has to take a full force tackle to an exposed mid riff becasue they must remain fullty upright - unless of course I suppose they ran 50m double up almost? ( Yeah right...)
What could possibly go wrong?
There's a difference between "bracing for impact" and lowering your head like this.
In fact I would argue that the head lowering is the worst kind of bracing I can imagine.
