[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1056104, member: 58362"] The point in both instances is that the employer has a legal duty of care so need to ensure that they take reasonable measures to ensure their employee's safety. By doing the same and expecting different results, the RFU / World Rugby would be leaving themselves open to being found to have ignored this duty of care. Rugby never tends to think of the law of unintended consequences when making changes, so it will be interesting to see what they are in this instance. Two diametrically opposed possibilities that occur to me are that as emphasis in training moves away from running head first into brock walls, players will focus on running around them and watching rugby will improve as a consequence. On the other hand, maybe players will have more time to spend in the gym, and injury rates will increase as a result. [/QUOTE]
