[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1080113, member: 72977"] This is where the laws have changed. Players were getting penalised for tackling correctly, but still making head contact, especially when players ducked or fell into contact. It's a contact sport and while trying to reduce head injuries is important, you are never going to eliminate them unless you remove contact completely. Therefore they changed the rules so that if a player is bent at the hips and making a legal tackle, then he's doing the right thing and the head contact is considered a rugby incident. Neild ducked into contact, so short of going even lower, there was not much Kirsten could do. [/QUOTE]
