Much obliged. That's a good quality stream!
Sky is now back but it was good to see those scrums at least.

Its normally heads on knees and heads on hips that leave people sparked out. These high shots that we see carded rarely knock the recipient out.
And I believe the studies show statistically its actually the tackler who gets knocked out not the ballcarrier.
Joe Moody in the Auckland test for example.
Yes, hitting hips/knees is bad too, but not as dangerous as upright tackles.
Who has time for a fact check during a tense match thread.

Indeed we will stick to their opinion you smarmy prick.

"Slightly more surprising, of head injuries that happen in the tackle, 72% occur to the TACKLER, and 28% to the ball carrier. So the tackler has a risk that is 2.6 times higher than the ball carrier. You can read more about this in a thread I wrote towards the end of last year. This finding was somewhat surprising – most injuries show a 50/50 split. It is also the source of “misinformation” and misunderstanding, so let’s look at this a little more closely."
Because id read it before and knew I was right. I wasn't making it up. If your man wasn't such a fucking smart arse i wouldn't have done it.Ymx wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2020 10:28 amWho has time for a fact check during a tense match thread.

Yes, tackler gets hurt more often, but that's not what you were getting at originally. You may want to keep reading those articles.Steve wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2020 10:24 amRaggs wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2020 10:15 amThere may be a school of thought, but all the people that went to university, watched thousands of tackles and recorded the outcomes, came to a different conclusion... so perhaps we'll just stick with their opinion.Steve wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2020 10:09 am There is a school of thought out there that lowering the tackle height actually increases concussions.

You think not carding cardable offences would help their behaviour?
