[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 649778, member: 20605"] Cipriani was not tackled, he was knocked off his feet when Black 13 missed his tackle. To be tackled a player must be [B]grasped, brought to ground and held[/B]. None of these three happened. What you had with Cipriani was a situation covered by Law 14 BALL ON THE GROUND - NO TACKLE [TEXTAREA]DEFINITIONS This situation occurs when the ball is available on the ground and a player goes to ground to gather the ball, except immediately after a scrum or a ruck. [B]It also occurs when a player is on the ground in possession of the ball [U]and has not been tackled[/U][/B].[/TEXTAREA] In a Law 14 situation, there is NO GATE!! Players can come from any direction to try to take the ball from the player on the ground. All of this is moot, because it wasn't a tackle. [/QUOTE]
