As we go into the second weekend of a thrilling Six Nations, here’s a really timely story about the unintended benefits of lowering the tackle height (from shoulder height to sternum) in schools and across much of amateur Rugby Union. This was a controversial change. A year ago traditionalists were up in arms. Many feared it would ruin the sport as they knew it. In reality it has proved to do the opposite. While it’s too early to conclusively say that it has lowered the incidence of concussion, the anecdotal evidence is that there has been a significant improvement. And it has had another unintended consequence - because the rule leads to fewer two-on-one tackles, the ball-carrier can often offload the ball to a team mate. So as well as improving safety, rugby is getting faster and more enjoyable to watch, with fewer set-piece interruptions. Those of us in positions of influence in the game should take heart from this example. * Increasing player safety doesn’t have to come at the expense of the sporting spectacle. * Innovation is critical to the future of the sport.

** THEY'VE ONLY GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN ** 🎬 Beautifully written piece, pulling together the word-smithing, historical context (dating back to 1872) and data insights from the power trio - Alastair Sledge, James Stringer, Louis Williams. 👏 The following quote is particularly interesting: "Innovations on and off the pitch have been constant, and this has enabled the development of many of world rugby’s finest talents and teams" 👨💻 I think it's important to note these innovations are also enhancing the development of expectations among the fan-base of the game. There is a continuous evolution to what the overall match-day, fan engagement and digitally driven experience needs to be, in order to compliment the on-field entertainment. 🌟 United Rugby Championship x Elixirr
