Rugby Could Get Major Overhaul If New Study Suggestions Are Adopted

Tuesday, 26 May 2020 12:45

One of the recommendations is to removing face-to-face tackles.

Rugby could be set for a major overhaul if World Rugby adopt suggestions made by a new study. 

The research, commissioned by rugby's governing body, suggests removing face-to-face tackles and reset scrums to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. 

World Rugby are set to meet in the next 48-hours and are expected to announce a temporary set of rules which would also outlaw spitting on the pitch. 

Meanwhile nationally the IRFU will update 10 year season ticket holders this week over how the coronavirus pandemic will affect arrangements between consumer and client. 

Some blocks of payments for the tickets at the Aviva Stadium are due next week.

Meanwhile, Leinster have cancelled the sale of season tickets for the 2020 / 2021 season.
