Please note Irish Rugby will host a webinar on Wednesday 18 September at 1pm, on the early findings for year one of Tackle Height adaptation trial, and there will also be a chance to ask any
questions to our panel relative to the trial.
As the new season is upon us it is now apt that we have the opportunity to present some of the preliminary findings from the first year of the Tackle Height Adaptation trial. As you will be aware,
following an extensive consultation process with all levels of stakeholders in Irish Rugby, the decision was taken to accept World Rugby’s offer to enter the global trial for two seasons with the aim of collecting data that will hopefully allow the game to be safer and more enjoyable for all.
These preliminary results allows us to check-in on the progress of the trial, from an overall game perspective and a player welfare perspective, however two seasons of data will give us a clearer
picture. We are also looking for your feedback on season one of the trial, so if you are a coach, referee, player or medic over the age of 18, please click the following link to have your say:

This means that the legal tackle height in domestic rugby became below the line of the sternum. Detailed educational supports have been released over the course of the season and they can be
viewed here.

As part of this webinar, there will be overview of the project to date, a presentation of early findings from the first season, the match official perspective and also a chance to ask any questions to our panel relative to the trial.
There will also be a brief overview of the three law changes which World Rugby have implemented across all rugby, both domestic and professional from July 1st 2024 onwards
