Don't envy a 6' 10" second row trying to tackle a 5' 2" scrum half at lower than waist height

It will also surely cause issues with DR players from Championship and Prem. They will have to adapt to two methods of tackling. How is that going to work?

Is this likely to affect the No Arms tackles problem, most recently witnessed on Saturday?

And Rugby Pass in dismissing the majority of "paid playing staff" who are in Nat 1, Nat 2, Womens Championship, claim it will affect only the amateur game. Just shows where the major feeder leagues to womens and mens Championship and Premiership stand in the eyes of the "Get Jones Out" media. Have I got that right?

When I played rugby ( league ) at school I was taught to always tackle round the knees, never mind the waist because "they wont go anywhere without their legs", so legs it was. And how often do we hear supporters shouting "take hin down, take his legs out".

It was rare that kids of my age went higher than waste height because if they did they stood a good chance of getting an 'accidental' smack in the gob. We even tackled round the legs when we played british bulldogs on the school playground.

'Appy days.

Come on Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose
