    British rugby league is joining rugby union is changing their rules when it comes to tackle height


    The Rugby Football League have announced tackling above the armpit will be banned at all levels of community game - and at age grade level professionally - starting next year.

    The change will come into effect at the senior professional level in 2025.

    New Zealand Rugby and England's governing body in the 15-man code have already made decisions to lower the tackle height at community level.
