England's Rugby Football Union says its new low tackle guidelines are based on extensive research but accepts that more communication and explanation are needed following widespread criticism of the proposals.
"We consider the decision to reduce the tackle height to be the start of the process, to allow for a period of engagement in the coming weeks with groups of coaches, players and referees, drawn from across the country and from all levels of the game, including the men's, women's and age grade game, over the detail intent and implications of the law change, before finalising it," the RFU said on Wednesday.
"I don't think it's been well-received and rightly so, if I'm honest. I think some more adjustments will need to be made because I don't think that's a practical solution."
