[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 830359, member: 20605"] I don't know why WR doesn't just stop pussyfooting around this issue, and simply change the the Law regarding height of tackles Currently it states [TEXTAREA]Law 10.4 (e) A player must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders. A tackle around the opponent’s neck or head is dangerous play. Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA] they should simply change the Law to read [TEXTAREA]Law 10.4 (e) A player must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent above the line of the [COLOR=#ff0000]armpits[/COLOR] even if the tackle starts below the line of the [COLOR=#ff0000]armpits[/COLOR]. A tackle around the opponent’s neck or head is dangerous play. Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA] This would lower the top of the "target zone", including the orange area as high instead legal it is now [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98915197/RugbyRefs/HighTackleZones.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
