Reduced tackle height in community rugby: 2023 key insights
@Victor-Meldrew check out those last two words, they might be important.

@Victor-Meldrew Was just posting the same thing as Bones, without reading his comment first.
The percentages aren't targets; they're stats from 2023.

Ah, thanks.

World Rugby more interested in prosecuting "fans" than asking themselves what they could do to fix the problem(s). Other than pandering to the blind watching on TV.

@antipodean I'm glad they're going after those idiots. I don't think they are fans btw.

Should be rolled out to Pro, right now, imo. It's going to have to anyway so do it now.
It works as a really good guideline in community rugby as refs can just use the eye test and only penalise if it's actually high, but at the higher level it'd be a farce, imagine all the replays.
Something that appears to be missing that's used over here though is the one around the dip in height of the ball carrier.

Disagree, penalty only for above nipple line or whatever they call it, unless head. As everyone is aiming lower there will be less. But agree with the dip and leading with the head, that needs sorting

We already get enough check check with it being a pretty clear distinction. Imagine how many we're going to get while the tmo says "hold on barnesy, just going to draw some nipples on him".

The logical conclusion of this race to the bottom will be you can only tackle around the ankles. Then they'll complain about the amount of knee injuries...
