If we want to promote Rugby as being safe, see the other thread on non-contact rugby in schools - we have to have safe professional rugby.

And that means players who know how to tackle safely.

If Curry had aimed for the abdomen not the ribs there would not have been a clash of heads.

To me the real problem with this new regulation is that serious and deliberate foul play would not be punished as before but to be honest how often do we see red cards for this nowadays? 
From what I've read and heard, it will.  There is still the option for a full red card for serious foul play, whereas the 20 min card is more for the 'accidental' (for want of a better word) clashes eg Curry v Argentina, Cane in the WC final, Obano in the Premiership final.

Well that seems very sensible. (So it probably won't happen!).
