Having played it at school, I’m fascinated by the attempts of the professional side of rugby to turn it into a non-contact sport to generate cash again.
About the only hope they have would be to invent something akin to the flag football played in the US, where hauling a flag out of the ball-carrier’s belt counts as a tackle.
The ‘tackled’ player would then be obliged to drop the ball and play would resume with the ‘tackler’ in possession after the ref has sprayed the ball with disinfectant.
Would people pay to watch that? It’s doubtful.
