PRESSURE TO BAN FULL CONTACT RUGBY FOR KIDS AFTER U.S. DEATH
The Sunday Mirror
|September 01, 2024
CALLS are growing for kids in the UK to be banned from full-contact rugby tackles after a 16-year-old died playing American football.
Caden Tellier, a junior at Alabama's Morgan Academy in the US, suffered a brain injury while attempting a tackle.
The tragedy prompted fresh calls from the worlds of sport and politics for a rethink of rules governing youngsters playing collision sports.
Alix Popham, who played Rugby for Wales in two world cups, said: "The tragic death of Caden Tellier is reminder collision sports risk the lives of young athletes."
