[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 797057, member: 50236"] I am afraid you are correct and it seems we are on a downward slope to non contact rugby!! It may take years but, to me, it feels like the game is under pressure from the elf and safety lobby with no discernible defenders. Yes, dangerous play should be punished and removed from the game but common sense should prevail. Funny really.....in football a link is being established between heading a ball and incidents such as Alzheimer's. However, has anyone heard of a campaign to stop children heading the ball? Is it because there is much more money in that game or is it that rugby is still seen as elitist?! [/QUOTE]
