World Rugby has issue a new Head Contact Process which is effective from 10th March 2021 and is available with example videos online at: https://www.world.rugby/the-game/laws/guidelines/17.
Consideration has been broadened within the process to include all illegal head and neck contact, including dangerous clean-outs, head-on-head collisions and head contact which arises from ball carriers leading with an elbow or forearm, in addition to high tackles and shoulder charges.
