Bailey exposed a rule that I’ve not come across before “tackling too hard”.
Now this might make it difficult for players that like to put a bit of effort in their tackling to know just how much force to put in:
Enough to stop the attacking player but not too much as to concede a penalty.
Tough one.

This new 'Force of the tackle' law is a bit similar to using the defence of 'Self defence' in an actual court of law. The jury would have to decide if, when defending yourself you used minimal or excessive force in doing so, the difference being you have acted within or outside the law!
