I think it might be the only point I disagreed with new portocols. Basically if a tackler is clearly making tackle and has got to blow waist height of the shortest player on the pitch they shouldn't be carded.
making a judgement against another player (the shortest on the field) that might be on the other side of the pitch is probably a bit hard to enforce but i think i get the point and in principle agree, i think we can only really expect a player to get down to their own waist but we're really arguing semantics at that point
What i said earlier about carding a player with the ball leading with their head might be a bit extreme, it will happen but rarely, hopefully we'll get to the point where a tackler can be judged to have made a real effort to get down, wrap arms etc and that any contact is purely an accident
