[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 802670, member: 20605"] Now you see, this is where I entirely disagree. Biggar placed himself in danger by jumping, and IMO he did so with reckless disregard for anyone who might have been in the way or in the landing zone. This may not be what the Law says, but in this particular case, I really don't give a fat rats arse what the Law says because I disagree with it. What I am talking about is what is [B]fair and equitable.[/B] For mine, fair and equitable mean that the same conditions should apply to both players on the ground and both players in the air. Jumping with no consideration for where you are going to land is either reckless or it isn't. I'm not going to let you have it both ways and shift the goalposts, because that is on no way fair or equitable. [U][B]Both[/B][/U] players, Biggar and Stander, jumped to contest for the ball. If Biggar was not reckless, then Stander was not reckless. If Stander was reckless, then so was Biggar [/QUOTE]
