World Rugby consider penalising players who get concussed
World Rugby is considering taking the extraordinary step that if a tackler is upright in a tackle and gets concussed, they’d also face a suspension because they’ll be deemed at fault.
“What we’re trying to do through a number of processes is to bring the tackle height down to protect more the tackler rather than the ball carrier,” World Rugby’s chief medical officer Martin Raftery told reporters at a briefing in Sydney.
“Yes, we’ve got to protect the ball carrier as well but the focus is on the tackler.
“There’s three phases and one phase is increasing the sanctions.
“By increasing the sanctions for illegal tackles, we’re more likely to protect the ball carrier but we’re hoping by increasing the sanctions, it draws attention to that issue and therefore the coaches start to improve the technique which then brings about lowering the tackle height.
“Second intervention is the high tackle warning system.
“That’s about penalising a tackler for being upright in a tackle who has then clear and obvious contact with the ball carrier.
“And it doesn’t matter whether the ball carrier is injured or the tackler is injured.
“If they’re upright and there’s clear and obvious head contact, he’ll receive an extra penalty, which is an off field penalty.”
@antipodean so there goes an upright tackle trying to hold the player and ball up to force a maul and turnover

@bovidae oh yea he did that too...although it is wrong cos the Beast isn't SA born is he?
-
@taniwharugby he's not in the squad!
-
@bones ah so selective then.
-
@taniwharugby well he's injured, not sure SA would have been left out of the list if he was in the squad. I was surprised there's no others born outside SA.

@bones no one moves TO South Africa
