[QUOTE="daluaine, post: 760038, member: 73406"] There appears to be no consideration on what are deliberate, isolated and "conscious" actions, and the accidental. If the Ford and Gray bans have both come from that single "clear-out" incident then it looks from my (admittedly extremely biased) view as though both players went in with the primary action of clearing the player out but in different directions. Their opposing actions created something that was unintentional and certainly could not have been co-ordinated between the pair of them. Lets face it, why dump an opposing player back on top of the ball your scrum-half is trying to play quickly. If you remove either Scottish player from this situation a tip tackle wouldn't have arisen. Yes, the player lands on his neck and it looks bad, but was it intentional? If you accept that it could have been a freak accident then can there be any ban? This is rugby being played at a ferocious speed and intensity; accidents are going to happen. Now compare that to some of the other citing being discussed in this thread? [/QUOTE]
