My son is involved in a school debate on whether the tackle should be banned in youth rugby. He is in “6th form” so needs to present in depth research and comprehensive argument.
One area that he is exploring is how laws have changed over recent years in the interest of player safety, so he can show how seriously the rugby authorities take player safety and to present specific examples of continued law revisions to remove unnecessary risk.
I Know that there are some law historians out there and suspect that there will be a lot of documented evidence in defence of the game. I would be really grateful for any information regarding safety specific law changes (not specifically at age grade as these differ across the globe) as well as any pointers for further research.
Many thanks in advance.
