Apparently there have been many concussions and injuries.
I'm not sure that Rugby, which is a town in Warwickshire, has a record of tackling anything, though its council might disagree.
The sport named after it, rugby, should not ban tackling, though it could introduce compulsory head protection and uncontested scrums.

also scrums should be banned... they result in many life-changing injuries.
I'm in two minds but I think younger kids should be maybe stick to Touch Rugby.

Head protection would help but not apparently all that much.

tbh Touching is problematic in many ways ?

It's all a conspiracy apparently. I thought this was serious at first.

How so?

in today's society touching young people is less and less acceptable; the sport community should be aware of the dangers.

Banning tackling in rugby?! Please please please tell me this is satirical. If you're worried about risk of injury, don't play!! Why take it away from those who wanna play? It's like the busy bodies who banned British bulldogs in playgrounds, utter madness.
I hold a very unpopular view: I don't even think P.E. ought to be a subject in school. school is for learning, not exercise. kids should exercise on their own time. and kids aren't going to become reasonably healthier by doing P.E.
P.E. sports should be available at break and lunch time but not ass its own subject area

Relax, it is only suggested for schools. I did post a satirical piece on it further up the thread but the question is an appropriate one.
We still played British Bulldog and didnt' do us any harm ..... apart from the screaming headaches and urges to kill.
Of course not

also the balls they use are quite unyielding. get one of those on your cranium at 30mph and you know about it.
it would make far more sense to have the same size of ball but made of foam ?

How about Tickle Rugby, where the players have to tickle the ball off their opponents?

I'm not sure which sports should be taught but surely exercise is an important habit for kids to learn?
Otherwise we will be teachign a generation of sedated office workers with obesity problems.

I think I agree with you for teens but for younger kids?
