Thank you for this reference, and yes, I see:Rugby is worse, that still don't avoid CTE, French is an nationald debate as their tackling is even more deadly https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/dec/18/france-rugby-union-deaths
This potential reform is being tried out, and is not something already in place.https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/dec/18/france-rugby-union-deaths
" . . . World Rugby has improved its education programmes, increased awareness about concussion, strengthened the penalties for dangerous play, is trialling new tackle laws, which will lower the legal height of the tackle to below the nipple. But the hard truth is that all this may not be enough for a game where the players have grown so big, so strong, the collisions so fierce and so frequent, and the commercial imperatives so pressing. . .
