[QUOTE="eidde, post: 825858, member: 74210"] That'd be covered by the broader common sense 'duty of care' thing I'd have thought. I mean currently you can't tackle above the shoulders, but if a player is waving the ball above his head and you take out his arms and ignore his head you wouldn't get penalized would you? It does sound like a ridiculous situation but it does happen - watch Sanaila Waqa (Hawkes Bay for the last couple of seasons) run with the ball - often one handed above his head. Taking out the arm wouldn't be penalizable for a high tackle could it? [/QUOTE]
