I have become aware of some confusion as to whether the new tackle height law, to be introduced from 1 July, would apply to sevens rugby. I can confirm, following explicit discussions with the Chair of the RFU Law Sub-committee, that the new tackle height law applies to all variations of rugby from 1 July.
Training, law application guidance, and guidelines can be found on the England Rugby Tackle Hub, and further details of Society training on this topic will follow from Robbie Bourke and Simon Dodd shortly.
As always, please do reach out to me should you have any further questions on anything. Thank you for all of your hard work over the season, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine and look forward to seeing you sometime soon.
Best wishes,
Peter
