[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 780136, member: 55747"] When you say "no", particularly after i quoted an official source, it'd be nice if you come up with something a little stronger than a self made definition, namely a source. It's very hard to take your word at face value when it contradicts what the laws of the game state. In order to prove me wrong, which i hope you do, you have two options: 1) Either point out where my understanding of the laws i quoted falls short 2) Quote another source that overrides mine Since point 2) doesn't seem possible, you are left with only one option, which you have not exercised. I'm afraid i have no option other than to stand correct. I understand where you are coming from, and that is what i though at first, but i actually took the time to check. Foul play is not just that. Foul play is, according to the laws of the game as posted by the game's governing body: "[U][B]Foul play is [SIZE=5]anything [/SIZE]a player does within the playing enclosure that is against the letter and spirit of the Laws of the Game.[/B][/U] It includes obstruction, unfair play, repeated infringements, dangerous play and misconduct which is prejudicial to the Game." [U][B]Source:[/B][/U] [url]http://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=10&language=EN[/url] It does state on the second sentence something along the lines of what you stated, but the first sentence is crystal clear.
