didnt hurt him then maybe, but that was lucky, it was a big head impact. The change in directive is to try and reduce the cumulative effect that repeated blows to the head brings in later life, what with the dementia diagnoses that young ex players are reporting like Ryan Jones ans Steve Thompson. Getting tacklers to go low is a way to bring this about. Sam Cane stayed very upright in that tackleIt’s such a weird thing.
