Re: Proposed Law Changes
Another couple of analyses just coming in this month
England: average number of head contacts dropped from six to three
Women: 64% reduction in tacklers making initial contact with the ball carrier's head and neck and 17% reduction in the rate of head-to-head and a 35% reduction in head-to-shoulder contacts for the tackler
This is early data; there may well be more to come (the RFU's trial explicitly says as much in the article)
I'll edit with the actual research, rather than media reporting once I've found them:
Women: https://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/11/2/e002499
I can't find the RFU's analysis on Pubmed or BMJ - so presumably it's not actually published yet, and they're just wanting to get the good news out there early.
Not seeing anything on Pubmed from other countries yet either - but I'm sure it's coming.
Interestingly, I did also come across this: High tackle headache: implications of referee agreement for tackle height law change
