Leo Cullen bemused by focus on new head injury laws

Leo Cullen has shrugged off the much vaunted new World Rugby laws relating to head contact, by suggesting nothing has changed with regard to how he’ll coach his team.

The Leinster boss was speaking ahead of tonight’s Guinness PRO12 clash with Zebre, where the province will be one of the first senior teams to play under the new regulations.

The global governing body have stepped up their efforts to promote a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to illegal high tackles, increasing sanctions in a bid to deter them and prevent serious injury to players.
