[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 775891, member: 55747"] Thanks for the replies Well, that was what i had in mind when i posted the video. For me the tackle in the video clearly complies with points 2) and 3) and if i watch the slow motion replay, it appears that although the tackler is not going upwards, his momentum is so big that he actually takes the green/white player a few centimeters higher. We can probably argue for hours about whether that constitutes a lift or not. I've heard more than once from refs/pundits (i'll try to find youtube) that once a tackle happens, and the tackled person is up in the air, it is the responsibility of the tackler to see that the tackled one lands safely (i.e. not with his neck/head). I know the source should be the rules and not live commentary, but it did seem like a reasonable rule of thumb and proved to be right in most cases. [/QUOTE]
