Not if you want to watch a game of rugby with a penalty every other minute then i guess not.

Having witnessed games under these rules its diabolical there aent less injuries probally more if anything not just to head but to other limbs.dont forget the tackeler going to be going lower so there suffering more.and players dont want it.just watch all the talent drain away from sl in 2025 when it comes in there top brits will go to nrl and the aussies wont want to come here

Like has been said, it’s how they police it that will decide it. There’s nothing particularly exciting about a tackle round the shoulders anyway. Give me a shoulder into the ribs any day of the week.

Simple rule: no penalty if attacker contributed to it, or if accidental.

But I’m with jonh. Greedy ex players jumping on the compo bandwagon have caused this. I came across one in my professional capacity and booze was a factor. But it gives the game a year to get it right. I’d like to think that there are enough smart thinkers to know that to grow a spectator sport, you need spectators. Interestingly, the NRL has got more popular as it’s got safer.

I must be missing something isn't it a penalty now if player hits the shoulder and goes up to the head. I honestly don't see an issue with the armpit rule.
What I will say is that when you compare the Union rules on it I couldn't get my head around it especially some of those red cards however over the games in Union it didn't appear a massive problem. That said some of those decisions for red from a yellow did appear to be more accidental than reckless when a player was was lower to the ground. Interesting times. Get rid of the 6 again and move the defence up should lower the initial contact speed and promote more flare in attack

Maybe the club could recruit a team of little people

or limbo dancers.
