[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 832656, member: 45598"] Am I the only one in the country who thinks what Glasgow did was neither illegal nor any less dangerous than what goes on elsewhere on the pitch? Hitting the standing leg is most likely to cause injury just before or when the player kicks tge ball which is perfectly legal, after that the foot isn't planted with the players momentum bringing his weight off his standing leg with less balance. Its a pretty common tactic in rugby to deter a 9 from box kicking and I've had my knees targeted a lot in games that I was kicking well at 9 or 10, never have I come close to an injury despite playing on pitches a lot less firm! Put me on the end of one of those ahead of a crunching hit to the ribs or a knee or elbow hitting me in a ruck by accident! [/QUOTE]
