[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 866869, member: 72205"] I agree its completely hypocritical but I don't know anyone claiming the higher ground on this one. My only two cavaet's is there is something in the law book for accidental offside there isn't something for accidentally tackling the player in the air. Plus what happened with Sinckler was instinctive on his part (the act of jumping) what Faumuina was premeditated in that he committed to the tackle before Sinckler caught the ball. In reality I think the refereee should of had grounds to give a free kick instead of a penalty in both instances. I think far too many offences are automatic penalties when in reality a free kick (I'd take out the option to scrum for scrum free kicks infact I'd take out that option in most cases) would be a far better way to penalise the offending team.
