Watch: Is the Aviva Premierships injury crisis out of control?
By Online Editors
Rugby has changed in many ways in recent years, the game in its current form has a much higher average time of ball in play, which correlates to a higher tackle count and ultimately a higher number of injuries.
According to figures from The Telegraph, in the past four years the average tackle count has risen by a startling 33.2 percent
This week saw mass postponement of fixtures in the Premiership A League, a clear indication of the severity of the crisis.
Last night Ben Kay and Ugo Monye spoke succinctly on the issue.

Yeah I predicted (out of thin air) it to be more like 30 points between them. You don't think it wasn't more like that because they picked jaded players?
Will have a look at the game now I guess.
Go to commentsDon't mind me lol I just thought it was funny that you saw the opportunity to show some good parochialism at the end of this article. I thought we were going to have an interesting Italian perspective on the game to read (which we could counter attack with our perspective etc), instead it was about an Englishmans perspective on the game/rugby (which I wasn't interested in replying to at all).
Oh, and I also should be always in that last sentence. Can't say I've even seen a 6N without a bunny team but it certainly wasn't Italy this year!
