The Big Tackle Height Debate

Another quiet week in the world of rugby… The RFU dropped a bombshell when they announced plans to lower the legal tackle height in the amateur game from the shoulder line to the waist line; cue uproar from every corner...

So, Tinds & Alex sat down to tackle the debate. They hash through the stats, data and views from across the game, with The Head of Game Development at the RFU, John Lawn to find out how and why the decision has been made. They’re also joined by Paul Milham and former Leicester Tiger, James Buckland, who’re both from Aylesbury RFC, one of hundreds of clubs who’ll be affected by the announcement.
