Should tackling in school rugby be banned?

A group of 70 doctors and health experts have called for a ban to be placed on tackling in school rugby because of the risk of "serious injury."

Writing in an open letter to ministers, the group has warned of the "high impact" nature of rugby and have advised schools to switch to touch rugby as an alternative.

Prof Allyson Pollock, of the Queen Mary University of London, was among those to sign the letter.
