[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 334023, member: 20605"] Nick If you look at the video you posted of Nonu on Blair, I have no problem with that. The force of the tackle knocked Blair off his feet and drove him back, but at no stage did Nonu grasp and lift the player. I would like to see lifting made illegal from the point of view that it takes away a grey area from the referee's judgment. ► It is easy to judge if a player is grasping and lifting the ball carrier. Its an [I][U]objective[/U][/I] observation; either the player is lifting his opponent or he isn't ►It is more difficult judge if that lifting is becoming dangerous. This is a [U][I]subjective[/I][/U] observation that can depend on the ball carrier's response to what is happening And as you have posted in the Nonu v Blair video, there is a VERY effective (and legal) alternative to lifting the player up.
