[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 114137"] It is a common tactic in league and rugby where the decoy runners don't obviously take out the defenders.....instead they do it in a subtle way by moving onto the outside area of a defender. The whole idea of this is to try and prevent the defence shifting out. It only takes ONE defender to NOT shift out to stuff up a line. When a defensive line does not shift out TOGETHER then the playres on the outside will either hold their ground....or worse...come back in. I think the Warriors having their tries disallowed was fair. The AB's had this problem in the '99 RWC match against England. From then on they had to rethink the way they were running. I think the rule change should be: Dummy runners have to slow down enough to avoid any contact by not running too far past the passer. If they come into the defensive line after overunning the passer they are to be penalised. Defending players cannot claim obstruction if they move past the ball carrier in an effort to take out the intended reciever. [/QUOTE]
