This is great. If we can instil good tackle techniques in young players at the level of Varsity Cup etc, they'll be far better prepared to play safe, smart rugby when they get to senior level. And we've seen how that pays off for the Boks.
Why the Tackle-Height Law Changes? We want to keep heads away from each other in the tackle-contest 🤯. Less head contact, less danger⚡️. Get down with it and lower the risk 👇. Go to My.BokSmart.Com to find out more. @playersfund_sa @SportsCapZa1

The number of penalties for high tackles in the FNB @varsitycup decreased from 14.5 per round to only 7.5 towards the end of the competition as teams took a positive approach to the new tackle height laws - more here: tinyurl.com/2uf683x6 👍 @BokSmart

A word from @RassieRugby on tackle height: “Tackling lower is coachable, so this cannot be used as an excuse” - more here: tinyurl.com/4ypnrhkh 💪
