How does this 7 tackle thing work?
Effectively the first tackle doesn't count ( ie zero tackle ) it was brought in to stop teams kicking it dead on purpose from 30-40m out to nullify a counter attack from fullbacks/wingers in broken play. They'd then gain an advantage in field position by having a set defensive line against the obligatory three hit-ups.
So I'd say we're likely to see less grubbers and more bombs as a result.
