💨 Abstract
World Rugby is considering lowering the tackle height in elite rugby to reduce concussions, following successful trials in amateur games. The trials, involving 11 unions, showed a decrease in upright tackles and concussion rates when the tackle height was set at the sternum. Further tests are planned for the under-20 championship before any potential changes at the elite level. World Rugby emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluation from player welfare, feedback, and fan enjoyment perspectives.
