[QUOTE="Crash Hamster, post: 1114140, member: 84693"] Ref was looking to even up the contest, I suspect. They're never going to stop these 'second tackler' incidents. Coaches want players to make tackles, which is obvious. PLayer cannot assume it's someone else's man, otherwise two defenders are left shoutinfg 'yours' as the attacker scores a try. Player lines up a tackle on the ball carrier. First tackler changes the position of the ball carrier by making initial contact. Second tackler is 3/4 committed and can only make fractional adjustment, often in reflex self-defence. End result is something which looks like a high shot with no intent to wrap, but is actually a rugby incident with no illegal intentions. Unfortunately , some of the more excitable Prem refs then get all bug-eyed and bulge-trousered at whipping out their big red one and the game is ruined. [/QUOTE]
