Needs to be more of those in rugby, if you duck your head going into a tackle, it's your fucking fault
'Don't talk to us about player safety': Manu Tuilagi's Top 14 debut controversy
England international Manu Tuilagi's debut for Bayonne in the Top 14 has caused a stir after a shot on La Rochelle's Gregory Alldritt.
Although to be honest, there just needs to be consistency
-
this is a really interesting problem, if Tuilagi goes any lower there he's basically aiming at the knees which having seen two horrendous injuries in the GP this weekend, makes me feel sick. Dipping your head that much into contact as the ball carrier is somewhat instinctive but definitely causes the head impact - not sure how realistic it is to change the laws to punish the ball carrier though

It's been a thing in club rugby here for at least a couple of seasons - late dip by the ball carrier isn't allowed - can't remember what the sanction is though as it's very rarely called.

Head contact but no foul play. The tackler bent at the hips and was attempting a wrap
So a 'No fault' head contact

knew is was being talked about, didn't know they'd actually started punishing it. Been a while since i ran around on a rugby field, and to be fair if i did, would spend about 60% of my time doubled over at the waist trying not to throw up
That's probably why I can't remember.

Think this is a really retrograde step, a big break from what makes rugby grounds so special and a big danger we end up with Soccer style supporter issues.

I can't see how it's going to attract more people.
