I don't think I would be very good at that job -- but if WR ever advertised for a Laws Nerd...How you haven't been called up by World Rugby to be their next CEO is beyond me :shrug:
For me theres a serious problem particularly in pro rugby with players tackling technique, there are so many players going low and have their head on the wrong side of the tackle resulting in knocks to the head and concussions, I see it creeping in to amateur rugby as well now.
Its only a matter of time before this practise will be outlawed as well as its very dangerous for the tackler.
Seven officials https://operations.nfl.com/the-offi...ly-good/officials-responsibilities-positions/I watch a lot of American Football (where 'tackle' technique is appalling due to the pads and helmets) and they banned tacklers initiating contact with the helmet in reaction to a player requiring spinal surgery after a helmet first tackle, cue loads of penalties in pre season games approximately 40% of which were in hindsight decided as mistakes, and that's with 5 officials on the field.
