Don't want to turn the high ball stuff into Aussie Rules etc.I think it's a good thing, and winning a competitive catch of a high ball is a real skill, at least much better than the 'innocent' blocking that's more akin to American football. When you think about how hard obstruction is penalised in any other phase of play that was totally inconsistent. But then again so's some of the anal stuff around whether a pass is forward by millimetres when the same ref is allowing the ball to be put into a scrum straight to the no8's feet.</blockquote>
