The debate was already on this thread. Along with quotes from rules etc. |

I do notice that the the English and French refs seem to allow the tackle to go on longer than perhaps the NRL where they'd call "held" earlier. I actually don't think that's a bad thing though as it can get called far too early here when there is still a lot of momentum.'"
That is something that p*sses me off, if the attacking player is still going forward, the ref shouts 'held', well he quite clearly isnt. |

umm......no they didn't. It's never been legal to tackle a man without the ball. Should have been an English penalty. |

I think you need to start on Page 1 of the rules and try reading them at least once. When you understand that tackling a player [ibefore[/i he has the ball is not allowed, then you may get the point. "In the air" had fsck all to do with it, for the rather blindingly obvious reason that the ball hadn't arrived yet! The guy was simply tackled without the ball, and that is the pen that should have been given. |

Possibly you could link to the part of the rules where it says that a player can be tackled before he receives the ball? Since that was what actually happened, regardless of whether Fox was in the air or not. |

No it doesn't. You just made that up.  |

The difference in the flow of the game between Saturday and yesterday's Wales-Scotland game with Shayne Hayne in charge was noticeable. Much quicker to get the tacklers moving off the tackled player. |

He did indeed - the Rules as published on the RFL site contain no such wording. |

The earlier quote from the rules is correct as per Section 11, page 23 of...
www.therfl.co.uk/clientdocs/rugb ... 2007_%20(2).pdf
It is illegal to tackle a player in the air fielding a kick before he has 'returned to the ground'. |
