Well look at this some body os trying to flex its mussles to control the >team.Rugby was the loser at the world cup final. Both teams played their hearts out and the TMO destroyed the game.
If this is for the reason of safety then lets not stop there. All rugby
needs to stop, Assuise rules and the American football, throw soccer in as >well.
Rugby is going woke. Who would have thought it?

There was a similar outcry when seat belts in motor vehicles were
mandated, and when cycle helmets were mandated. When does looking
after safety (and possibly being able to avoid law suits arguing that >insufficient care was taken), get called "woke"? This appears to be
a decision being made by a Sports organisation - it sounds more like >objecting to letting organisations be in charge of their own affairs.
What a silly negative article. If they have gone too far, they will
hear about it by some players ruling themselves out of competitions -
that is their business.
I suspect Mark Reason is just trying to be provocative - there is very
little balanced reason in that article.
For a little balance, see: >https://thespinoff.co.nz/sports/24-03-2016/a-reasoned-response-to-the-unreasonable-mark-reason-who-is-badWhich does not even begin to address the topic that Gordon raised. So totally off topic.

Mouth guards are useful and do provide protection. Some guys don't get
on with them and choose not to bother. Mandating a $700 mouth guard with >threats and fines if you choose not to wear it is bloody ridiculous!
Some clubs are already using something similar.

Might be a better idea to use that data where it's available?
