Chiefs v Crusaders - Diving on a player close to the line.

[Rassie]

Good question. That is something I hadn't really considered. Perhaps you have cracked the case. These terms are often not defined so as to enable a referee to make a sensible decision that is not too rigidly defined.

If we say that Read is not lying on the ground then what Aki did is probably not illegal in terms of 14.2.

I guess its up to the law makers to define it. We see lots of these incidents as I explained earlier wingers and such slides in early then sail across the line where the defenders would slid in as well.
