[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 286970"] When a ball is on the floor, it's free game. Most players choose to hack the ball through, while the brave dive on the ball, knowing they're likely to get a boot somewhere. The amount of times Martyn Williams has had a boot to the back, face etc. etc. from diving on the ball is rediculous, none have resulted in a penalty and neither should they. A player is within rights to attempt to kick the ball if it's on the ground. The fact that Leanoard got in first and fell on the ball makes no difference. Stephen Jones was committed (in the same way a late tackle isn't a penalty if the tackler was already committed). This is in no way similar to a high tackle (again, not really having a go at Carter, just at you're comments). What shoulder incident are you talking about? Can't say I recall it. [/QUOTE]
