[QUOTE="Penne Rara, post: 868453, member: 74680"] While I think it would be a shame to ban air contests, World Rugby should indeed do whatever's possible to prevent them from happening anymore, in order to ensure that the players' safety is well and truly respected. But kicks that precede contests (up and unders, whether they're box kicks or come from regular plays, chip kicks, cross kicks) will still be allowed, won't they? Only the act of jumping to catch the ball won't be tolerated? I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the cross kick could be rendered invalid by that law when it proves to be such a lethal and clever weapon against tight defenses. #BeaudenDisapprovesThisMeasure [/QUOTE]
