Rugby league's tackle-height trial begins at Bradford to mixed reactions
The trial to protect players from concussion will span 24 games but the high penalty count in the first match is not encouraging.
Both rugby codes have disclosed their intent to lower the legal tackle height in the years ahead; some think it is a reactive move to the growing number of players taking legal action against the sport they played, others see it as simply a progressive step to protecting the players better. But whatever the reason, this is league's first move into a new era of contact sport, with a six-week trial across four rounds of academy fixtures where only tackles below the armpit are legal, lowered from below the shoulder.
Bradford Bulls v Leeds Rhinos Academy Championship game which was the firtst game in Rugby League to be played under the new revised tackling laws.
The new law states that the initial impact of the tackle must be below the armpit.
Score: Bradford Bulls 32-50 Leeds Rhinos.
Referee Matty Lynn.
Odsal Stadium Bradford, Yorkshire, UK.
