Head injuries in rugby, part 1: Principle & high-level view
(Kopfverletzungen im Rugby, Teil 1: Prinzip & grundsätzliche Betrachtung)
On January 1st 2017 World Rugby announced some law clarifications and changes related to the high tackle laws. They are part of a zero-tolerance attitude to head contact during the sport, aimed at reducing the risk of concussion. These changes were not `guesswork`, but rather the result of an 8-month research project, the largest yet undertaken in the sport, to understand exactly how head injuries happen in professional rugby.
