Quote ="ArthurClues"The sport has had a major reduction (75%) on head impacts this season, so much so that the rumour is that the move to lowering tackle height to below the armpit might well be delayed/postponed. So like it or not this seasons tweaks, which were only a stricter application of the actual rules, have been a success.'"
Depends how you measure ‘head impacts’. If you speak to the players, they feel game more dangerous, as two players try and get low in the tackle, results in more impacts/head collisions between defenders, more impacts of head on thigh from attacker too…..
