As Rugby tries to progress with society, a certain rule change may seem like a simple fix but it will actually impact many rugby skills and change the game played in heaven.

The rugby community is split and in this video, I try to give you an understanding of why and how this change will impact many different parts of a typical rugby game.

I also look into the research being shared by World Rugby and Rugby Football Union with a critical, yet informed lens.

This change may not affect the Rugby World Cup in 2023, but all indications point to this law becoming a permanent part of rugby union following 2023.

Hope you enjoy this video. All use of footage is completely transformed to suit alignment with the research essay / analysis and adheres to fair use. If any issues please make contact with me.
