Quote: YosemiteSam "Great points. It's impossible to mitigate the risk completely. Regardless of the rules around the tackle, if there is tackling of any sort in the game then there will always be head knocks. Changing the game to remove any chance of head knocks means no tackling of any sort. If that comes to pass, there'll be no need to worry about insurance costs.'"
I heard a professor on the radio the other day. He was of the view that letting children play contact rugby below the age of 18 is tantamount to child abuse.
