@retang_does_sports: Day 7/365 🏉⚖️ World Rugby just cracked down on two tackles. The knee drop? Good call. It was already illegal, and now it'll be enforced. But the hip drop ban? Tackle too high, you're penalised. Bring your weight down from behind, you're penalised. Is the legal tackle zone shrinking every season? Protecting the game, or too many rules? 👇 #RoadToAustralia #RetangToRWC #WorldRugby #RugbyLaws #HipDrop
the knee drop tackle penalty is understandable, fair & clear. like you mentioned already, World Rugby has laws against it. what will be difficult to manage and penalise will be the knee drop tackle because that is now going to make it very difficult to chase down & tackle a player who has broken defence and is heading for the tryline

I really do understand they are trying to protect players long term , but at this rate rugby is becoming more and more unpleasant to watch . With every new rule the TMO only gains more control over a match. Let the gentleman be...

It's one of those rules that seems invasive at first but players will adapt to and eventually be grateful for. Those hip drops can be season enders.

Has anyone asked the players’ opinion on this? The hip drop will occur naturally with momentum as a tackler swings around when making contact in almost all cases where the impact is nit directly from the front or the back. Idiotic decision.

id agree with the knee drop if it wasnt for one thing. players are now running bent over at the hip. you cant legally tackle that unless you are on your knees. so if we are to ban that then we have to mandate that players run upright and if they bend they get penalised as well.
