Will tackling be banned at schoolboy rugby level?

Prof Dr Steve Cornelius, Head of the Department of Private Law with the Sports Law Centre of the University of Pretoria (UP), has entered this debate with an article titled, Should tackles be banned in schools rugby?, which was published on SportsAndTaxation.com earlier last month.

In a previous article, Prof Cornelius discussed the risk of concussion in contact sports such as rugby and football and highlighted that, previously, the National Football League (NFL) in the united states hid the severe consequences of this type of sports injury in their athletes.
