When did you ever tackle at speed and power or cleared a ruck powerfully at speed?! 👀

Sometimes, but not normally. If they at least made the effort to bend before any type of tackle there would be fewer red cards and there could be an argument.
With safety and litigation in the background it isn't the laws that are going to have change.— Brian Moore (@brianmoore666) January 15, 2023
Unfortunately this is the new norm now in rugby and rugby players are just going to have to be more careful when they head for a tackle otherwise they run the risk of getting sent off and costing their teammates the game almost. There were a lot of red cards handed out again this weekend, players have to be careful when heading into tackles..
