Will rugby union鈥檚 new tackle law cause more harm than good?
We debate the rule change that has sent shockwaves through amateur rugby in England.
A radical new ruling banning tackling above the waist in amateur rugby has sent shockwaves through the sport.
But is it a necessary change to address the epidemic of serious head injuries, or a radical departure that alters the essence of rugby and could prompt a mass exodus from the game?
We take you to a grassroots rugby club still reeling from the ruling - and hear from influential scientist Ross Tucker whose research has prompted the change.
And we get the view of England men's most-capped player Ben Youngs on a directive that鈥檚 divided rugby.
