The England RFU has stood firm on its new tackling restrictions, but its board and CEO Bill Sweeney reportedly faces a vote of no confidence from 208 clubs for the radical call.
Effective from 1 July 2023, all players at age grade and senior amateur level in England will be required to make waistline or lower tackles.
The Community Clubs Union, an independent group set up last week, is believed to be finalising the wording and technicalities of its resolution for a special general meeting before posting it to the RFU. Meanwhile, the RFU has issued a statement standing by its decision in the face of the widespread criticism, including opposition from several directors of rugby in the English Premiership.
