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.
Gallagher Premiership clubs are set to 'introduce away fan sections' at stadiums as rugby bosses look to seize on sport's growing popularity by improving the atmosphere at games
Gallagher Premiership bosses are set to follow football's lead and introduce designated away sections for fans at English club rugby matches.

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

Some of my best memroies, fuzzy as they are, are with opposition supporters in the crowd. Banter and stuff. How dumb.
I remember being at the cake tin game where SA came back with a ton of tries to beat us, and the sheer joy of the boks around us made it a great thing - this was after the North Harbour debacle etc. You'll totally miss out on that, what a pile of crap

I disagree actually, when you go away with your club it’s so much better to be surrounded by your own fans. I think there’s no risk of football like trouble, but I think the atmosphere in stadiums will improve which is good for everyone. It doesn’t mean you have to sit in the ‘away end’, it just means you can. There’ll still be plenty of opportunity to mix before, at half time and after games

Mike, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a period in Wales in the 70's/80's where crowd trouble started to creep into Welsh rugby and they looked to segregate fans?

@Dodge said in NH club rugby:
what, 500-1000 people? maybe someone could coordinate that...
Easily
Through the 'away' club's supporter page
We DO NOT want to go down the football route where away fans can only buy through the club and can only sit in designated areas
