I have always had an issue with head clashes at pro level, we have all seen 2 tacklers' head clash around an attacker and all of it seems very dangerous to me. Head clashes and heads hitting the ground seem to be the major concussions but there are many things that can bring them about.Will be very interesting to see how it goes when implemented/trialled with pros for a prolonged amount of time. It's much harder to get yourself into a safe tackling position for a low tackle at the speed of the professional and even semi-professional game. This will be even harder if the game speeds up from an attacking point of view.
I know it's about safety and player welfare, but I'm scared of what the refs will do with this. There's already too many stoppages in the game as is which is a big reason why so many have given up on the sport.
Your thoughts on the difficulty of getting into a safe position to tackle is a fundamental issue that needs to be dealt with at pro level.
