       If one did want to bite through ones tongue I would recommend
       trying to do a fancy side step (poorly) and getting caught in
       the tackle so your right knee is lifted into the bottom of your
       own jaw as your get smashed backwards whilst evidently sticking
       out your tongue as you are blowing due to lack of match fitness.
       As for the monster who cleared my out, i don't think he liked me
       and was not friendly as that really really hurt. :)

       Anything that keeps the ball in play gets my interest. I think
       if they do monitor it well and link it to coaching guidance it
       should lead to more ball in play and more enjoyment for the
       younger age groups. In my experience all the kids enjoy running
       with the ball it may even help in getting the selfish to pass.
       This is the hardest part of creating an effective youth team,
       not meet any kid who thinks they're quick that will pass the
       ball willingly. This change could show most kids the
       effectiveness of drawing players and passing for the player in
       space. However, the best change RFU could make is at the highest
       level, stop scrum halves feeding between props legs! If they
       won't do that take two out the scrum and just play RL!

       The article claims that this will reduce the number of rucks.  I
       don't understand how?
       Mauls yes, but surely more low tackling = more ball carriers
       going to deck = more rucks???
       Or are they thinking players in age grade and lower level rugby
       all have a secret stunning offload they've just not been able to
       showcase because of high tackling technique?

       It's there, if you read it...
       --- Quote from: Charlie Morgan link ---
       > Having monitored the progress of a similar trial in France,
       the RFU expect there to be fewer rucks and more opportunities
       for passes out of contact.....“[The laws] are viewed positively
       by players, coaches and referees and from the video examples
       provided appeared to show a change in the shape of the game,
       with fewer rucks and more offloads.”

       Kids can offload! They just don't have the arm strength to do so
       while being tackled above the waist, usually.
