[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 713901, member: 40658"] I get that, but the manner in which it is being interpreted is almost as bad as the Scrums. First of all, I think they should distinguish between the tackler and the contestant in the air. How can there be an expectancy on a player who also jumps in the air to contest the ball, to be responsible for the opposing jumper. Especially when the chasing contestant gets in a better position than the defending player, and would collect the ball had the defending player not jumped?? This is causing defending players to jump for every damn ball, with the idea that if they connect with me before I touch the ground, that I would get a penalty for my team and maybe get the opposing team to play with one man short for 10 minutes.
