@Machpants have to say I pretty well agree with you on how hard this will make it to defend if someone is passed ball within a metre of you and running in your direction, it will be almost impossible to bend down quickly enough without getting yourself into a very dangerous position.

Yeah considering more tacklers get concussed than talked players, I think it might make it worse

I'm starting to get real sick of these fluffybunnies. What did you think could happen in a collision game? "Oh the governing body didn't change the rules to tiddlywinks to protect me from my own decisions." Go fuck off.

Yep perhaps they can sue their parents for letting them play? Or their schoolteachers if they played at school? And how about lets all sue schools that didn't stop us playing bullrush etc during intervals. As you say the world is getting full of f***ing fluffiebunnies!

There will be law trials in NZ Community rugby this year that include a reduced tackle height. That follows a trial in selected grades, last year.
See my post in the Law trials and changes thread with the NZR media release (including the positive feedback they received).

goodbye club rugby
park football is never, ever going to be able to meet those standards
I fucking sick of these players not taking any level of responsibility. I never met a player that didn't want to stay on if it was at all possible. That didn't want to play next week.

@Stargazer yep, I am 99% sure the North Harbour 1st 15 comp was playing a reduced tackle height rule last year, anything sternum/chest to shoulders was a free kick.

Actually going to cause a lot of problems this change.
Have seen references to trials where the number of concussions has gone up, which makes sense when you think about heads being lowered to hips and knees more often.
Might reduce the ball carrier concussions and increase for the tackler.
Like boxing, and other contact sports, there is an element of risk. I’d rather they reduce the volume of contact by changing the training methods instead of ruining the actual games.

Yeah ok, that is something I could look to try and work with. Waist is just fucking bizarre, arbitrary and pretty vague.
There's no way I'm getting myself down to where the waist on my red origins were circa 30 years ago.
