eliminate helmets and shoulder pads, as there are no better tacklers than rugby players. when you MUST tackle properly to make a play, it's amazing how seldom people lead with the head.


I've been saying this for a long time. Players use their helmets as weapons. They had almost zero head injuries before because nobody led with their head.
