Very interesting article about how world rugby is forcing full tracking on all players, increasing the potential of completely killing the game (privacy issues aside).

Yes the shoulders below the hips thing is so ignored.

People do very much like the jackal so I see it staying as is. But I would like to see more threat on attack and more of a struggle on defense. Like you say, nerf the jackal and you get that and you get a more open game of rugby.

You looked into this way more than me. I just have my views without disecting the rules. But you seem to have found a workable solution.

The jackal can stay, it just needs to be de-favoured; first responsibility should be on defenders getting out of the way so that the ball carrier can then do their responsibilities (place the ball & move out of the way. Then the jackal has a window until a ruck forms to pick the ball up.
