[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 921188, member: 72977"] On the point of discussing rugby rules (if keeps annoying Bushytop and his prejudices, all the better), but I have to agree. I'm sure there was a directive to refs about making sure players bind properly and we've seen this where refs have told players to bind properly and they get their shoulder in position. If you look at French teams especially, where they have 2-3 players binding in a straight line backwards, connected with their shoulders (which I think should be against the rules). They do it to protect the kicker. Again the issue is consistency because it happened to us this week, happened to S.A last week. I have no problem with marginal calls, but there clearly are some areas of the ruck that need clarifying to help refs with that consistency. [/QUOTE]
