[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 102279"] On a slightly more serious note, rucking should be allowed again. Under the current rule interpretations, seen in this year`s Super 14, it`s becoming way too easy for defenders to just fall on the wrong side of the tackle, and thus slow down good, clean, fast phase-ball from which to attack. If the attacking team had the option to ruck out the beggar lying on the wrong side( and by this I mean rucking out the ball, not kicking the bloke in the head!), we`ll see much better continuity. Either that, or simply allow hands in the ruck for everyone- but it`s a bit of a grey area at the moment that needs clearing up. Secondly, cleaning out at the tackle area. We see people flying in, off their feet, at least 1m away from the ball all too often. This will definately result in a serious injury sooner rather than later, and I genuinely hope that some poor player doesn`t first have to pay the ultimate price before this is addressed. Thirdly, the rolling maul- the IRB proposal to legalise the collapsing of the maul is ludicrous, to say the least. Expect more serious injuries. But the current rules allowing the rolling maul is just too much like gridiron, to my liking. Why not change the rule wrt the rolling maul, so that the ball-carrier must be in the front of the maul, as opposed to the back? Then the defending side still has a chance to get at the ball, and legalised obstruction won`t occur anymore. Lastly, please stop the poor props from having to play patter-patter by touching before the engage. It`s embarrasing. [/QUOTE]
