The move – which will apply to National One and below in the men’s game and Championship One and below in the women’s game – has already precipitated howls of protest from across the sport.

There were just the six red cards last weekend across the 21 matches in Europe. By cosmic coincidence, the previous week marked the sixth anniversary of the protocols, introduced officially on 3 January 2017, although unofficially before that. There were also six red cards in one weekend throughout Europe in December 2016.
The only study available for scrutiny that the RFU acknowledged the influence of in arriving at the new legislation is World Rugby’s 2016 paper anatomising 611 incidents that led to Head Injury Assessments in the elite game. From this study many dramatic stats have been pulled to illustrate the fact that high tackles equal bad, low tackles equal good.
