[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 713909, member: 20605"] You both are pretty much arguing along the same lines I have been arguing on Rugbyrefs.com IMO, encouraging players to jump for the ball is fraught with potential danger. I expect you both will have seen the Dan Biggar v Finn Russell incident from Scotland v Wales a couple of weeks back. Biggar jumped at Finn Russell at a full-on sprint from about 10 feet away. Can you picture what could have happened if Russell had done what Biggar did; what this IRB Guidance encourages him to do? If WR stays this course, then IMO, sooner or later there is going to a really serious mid-air collision with serious, potentially career ending consequences. [/QUOTE]
