Our GMGs say this:
[LAWS]Neck rolls
• World Rugby is working to eliminate the practice of ‘neck grab and rolls’ in the act of cleaning out a player. Guidelines for referees are as follows:
o PK = Neck grab, without twisting, which cleans out a player at the tackle or ruck
o YC = Neck grab & roll (likely bringing the player to the ground)
o RC = Neck grab & roll with a forceful ‘dumping action’ in bringing the player to the ground[/LAWS]
I infer from this that, provided there is no neck contact, crocodile rolls are OK.
