So fed up of this, I feel the sport is getting weaker and weaker at the contact zone.
My biggest annoyance is big man on little ma at the tackle zone, so many yellow cards given, when if it had been a big man on big man it would have been deemed fair.
Also players falling in the tackle and then being hit high because there shoulders are pretty much at waist height.
Players 'tip' tackling when it is clear that they have held them up and it's pretty obvious there was never any chance of injury, yet there will still be a penalty. I've noticed players as soon as there being lifted will now try and dive into the ground.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the refs fault as they are given guidelines, but rugby is becoming softer and softer and it gets beyond frustrating..
