[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1164890, member: 45355"] not im my opinion and if it is and the stuff i remember are the exceptions then i think it falls into the bucket of rules that just seem to be looking for things to penalise couple of years back otago playing in the NPC, other team has an overlap on our 22, our last defender goes for the intercept...he's beaten one way or the other so why not. He pops UP the ball but gets a bit too much on it, he runs and dives for it but ultimately can only get a finger on it...red card and penalty try, basically has done everything that could be expected for someone actually trying to intercept the ball except actually getting it The default seem to be if you dont actually complete the intercept then your getting a card. My feeling is there is already a sanction for knocking the ball on...a scrum, a penalty just seems over the top and if the attacking team doesnt want the defender to get their fingers on it....then pass it earlier [/QUOTE]
