[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 815605, member: 40658"] I agree with you. And here in lies the issue that Smartcooky is desperately trying to get through. It's a matter of intent, and how the referee, citing commissioner and judicial officer see it. Now perhaps what Ragerancher and Which Tyler is trying to say is that there might be a difference in how the matters are resolved between the NH and the SH. Which may be the real big issue here. But then again, aren't most of the laws in rugby currently being interpreted differently between the 2 hemispheres? It's not just on this matter but also the scrums, rucks, mauls, etc. The thing is that while the laws, rules and directives are all on paper, the manner in which it is interpreted by the human is the defining factor. Some are more stricter than others, some are more sympathetic and so on. So while we like it or not, there will always be a disagreement on certain things, and perhaps the disagreement is due to a person's patriotism towards his own nation that leads to a bias view to certain cases.
