[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 825682, member: 45598"] Well no, the consequences are that a if player enters a tackle area high enough that he/she connects shoulder to head with another player, in this case an inch and a half taller than him/her, he/she has not [B]committed an act of foul play [/B]if the attacking player 'moves into it'. I love the game of rugby, it's killing me right now that I can't play but despite this I would give up the game if I ever got a serious concussion. If my playing career was ended by a reckless tackle like Cane's because that's borderline legal with the awful precedent set here, I'd be majorly ****** off at World Rugby. I don't argue that this incident was accidental, but Cane was to blame for entering the tackle area too high. [/QUOTE]
