With the right protection there is no need to ban tackling in school boy rugby
This topic was very prevalent in the news
yesterday, over 70 academics and doctors asking the RFU to reconsider tackling
in School rugby.
In the open letter to minsters it read,’
injuries from the high-impact collision sport’, can have lifelong consequences
for children
I personally and Packaging supplies as an
office, feel this would be sacrilege; to ban tackling it would dent the
character building quality you gain from playing rugby.
Please follow our tick list, below to keep
your children safe
Bubble Wrap: A key element of
the protection process, bubble wrap when placed correctly around the top of the
head and sealed with some fragile tape.(see point 3) Can act as the perfect
head guard. Be sure to make some ear holes, so your child can communicate easily on the pitch. Need to hear on the pitch
Foam Corner Guards: Ideal for
protecting the edge of furniture, mirrors or other fragile items. However in
this case an ideal replacement for shoulder pads and elbow protection. We
really feel we are onto something here with this light weight and ideally
shaped product.
Fragile Tape: Printed tape is
commonly used to seal parcels or boxes that are in need of a little tender
handling, love and care. On the pitch be sure to use this to hold your socks up
and for various places where it is necessary to raise attention to a fragile
area.

Please note this is only meant as a little
bit of fun to a very controversial subject.
