[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 832659, member: 39240"] Actually Mr Rolland came out saying it illegal so I'd say maybe you only 1. I think bigger issue is they were skidding along surface and gad no interest in ball at times. Think back to the Zebo hit for example. There is no issue in going for 9 it's fact that it was diving at ankles and brings safety in to it. And the fact is when you make the hit and a guy has all his weight on that leg it enhances the chances of ligament damage hugely. Pitch doesn't come it to it as much as the fact when all the weight is on 1 leg and there is no protection then player welfare is the issue. It was raised as I was told in a Currie Cup game a player got permanent damage from something similar. And in Top 14 it is monitored strictly. Maybe our French or S. African posters can comment there. [/QUOTE]
