[QUOTE="mcougy, post: 329943, member: 42256"] A couple weeks ago during a sevens match, a guy slide tackled me. It was a loose ball and basically it was a foot race between he and I to get to the ball. If I got it, it would have been a try for sure. I got there first by about a step and was just going to scoop it up (had my hands on the ball)) when he kicked it away via a slide tackle. Would this be considered dangerous since I was already upon the ball? The reason I ask is because his body (and full speed momentum) landed right into my ankle and it's been in bad shape since then. The more I think about it, the more the fact that he resorted to a slide tackle ****** me off. Was it legal? If legal, would it still be considered cheap or was he fully in his rights to do this? Thanks to anyone that can clear this up. [/QUOTE]
