[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 825788, member: 74322"] I once knocked a player out tackling him - right in front of the ref, tackled the ball, didn't slide up or make any contact with his head, neck or shoulders - somehow it just happened. I would have been mightily ****** off had I got a yellow card for it. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Maybe I am doing the Argentinians a disservice but they and the Italians seem to be the ones who really introduced diving and feigning injuries into rugby and the French appeared to follow suit for a while. Pichot was terrible for it if I remember rightly. I did think it was far less prevalent these days though - seemed they'd worked out that the fans wouldn't accept it but I could be mistaken. [/QUOTE]
