[QUOTE="Rinkadink, post: 916697, member: 74190"] So that tackle on Foden is legal from my brief viewing at work on mobile and you're making a huge error in thinking anyone agrees with Stuart Barnes or that the guy speaks any kind of sense or is even sober! I could talk about Stuart Barnes the ex-Bristol player who left for Barf in an underhanded manner, who as a good kicker managed to miss an absolute sitter at full time to win the JPT, the Barnes who is so out of touch with the modern game, the one thing Barnes does well; uniting supporters in their condemnation of him... you'll be using Dewi Morris or Eddie 'effin' Butler as examples next. Oh, and don't get me started on the international Kiwi and Aussie commentary teams (Saffas are generally pretty good) :p This may come as a surprise but many of us regularly watch Super rugby and the big hits are no more frequent or larger than any other top tier rugby competition. There really isn't much difference between the hemispheres as a general rule, if backed into a corner I would say the most noticeable one for me is a bigger emphasis on set piece in NH, especially Premiership and Top14. Anyway, that's mostly opinion and we could go on for ages. Not sure why you're linking to some Irish blog as evidence of World Rugby's concussion guidelines and reasoning? If you search for "World Rugby Concussion" you will find a plethora of scientific studies from the source (World Rugby) and their own media regarding the dangers and why they're doing it; protecting players.
