[QUOTE="Don't Skip Leg Day, post: 1144970, member: 35381"] Banning players won’t change behaviour though when the incidents are accidents that are mostly unavoidable in a game of rugby. This is different from stopping players tackling others in the air or flying into rucks, this is about players getting their timings/ height wrong. We are punishing accidents and that won’t change anything if the player didn’t want to do it in the first place and (the key is) doesn’t have a reasonable time to adjust. The only thing they could do is lower the tackle height to armpit or something of the like but they’ve done that in the amateur game where it isn’t needed and won’t be as easily coached and ignored the professional game where it would be much easier to implement and have way more of an effect.
