You sure about that.

At no point was his neck pushed beyond a normal range of movement or put in a dangerous position.

Not questioning that, if you read the post I was quoting it states At no point were his legs above the horizontal position. I'll leave it for others to decide if that's a dangerous position or not.

I didnt think.it dangerous but his legs were above horizontal. good reffing. penalty but no card

Yeh the wording probably needs changing on that one to be more about how a player lands. That’s the dangerous part.

If the intention is to prevent neck and spinal risk, it should be body above horizontal, legs don’t really affect it.

I’m trying to work out whether this is a joke or not? It’s mad.

Why is it mad? I could fall flat on my and be fine but my feet could be above my head. If you think it's mad, probably best to explain why, or, well, you look mad?

I think in terms of tackling technic there will be many more occasions where the hips are above the head.



If a players legs are on the ground you can't physically spear or tip tackle them.



Lifting the legs is where the issue comes I. As it maybe fine bit it can easily go wrong as other players in the tackle and the tackled player themselves cant then control the tackle with forces moving in many different directions.



I think the refs have a duty here as if motion is stopped, the call for held should be quicker.



There are many times were the motion is stopped and whilst the players continue to wrestle no held is called, resulting in very late offloading or tacklers continuing to wrestle or lift in an attempt to complete the tackle.



For me if forward motion is stopped then that should be held.

Unbelievable. You must be the number one apologist on this forum.

What's unbelievable? Seriously, what did I post there that triggered you?

I found the whole day disappointing. no atmosphere outside, no act on before the start.

I found it all subdued compared to every other time I've been
