 Isn't this illegal?This popped up on my bookface this morning, with lots of 'oh-wows' and other such stuff, but isn't it illegal?

Re: Isn't this illegal?
CJ Law 10.4 is usually refered to but does not state he act of jumping. This refs forum states that it would be considered dangerous play and penalised http://www.rugbyrefs.com/archive/index. ... f1ab98fcee hope this helps _________________  Easy to consider past and present, it's the future and associated plan and strategy to achieve that takes the talent ..

Re: Isn't this illegal? It's not as blatant as most. Lifting a leg over an arm. I cant see it being THAT dangerous or any intent there other than trying to avoid a tackle.
Its not hurdling or the ridiculous flying over a pile of players at a ruck type scenario. _________________ 'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so *fupping* what?' —Stephen Fry "You like PhillBB demand facts for debate........My premise needs no facts to debate it" - Rosario on "how to look like an idiot" http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitcomberd/ |

Re: Isn't this illegal? If he was tackled in the process - would the tackler be penalised?

Re: Isn't this illegal?
That, was what would have made it 'illegal' for me mate? The tackler actually got into a good body position, low, aiming for the shin/knee area but............... those flying boots?????? Alternately, had the tackler aimed for the midriff, I reckon momentum could have resulted in a possible tip-tackle? Who then would have been at fault? It's such a rare occurrence, it's hard to think what hard & fast rule could apply? For me, I'd have considered it a dangerous/illegal move and I'd be inclined to penalise it? (No more than that though?) _________________ "I have to say, I find that offensive toward (insert cause/belief)" Bit of tough luck for you then, old chap. I really don't give a toss about your perceived sensibilities!! |
