Diving to score

[Zebra1922]

Sure, no problem.

Probably easier to legally tackle him, than a player who slides in from 5 metres out on a wet & slippery track.

I think the point being made is you cannot make contact with a player in the air, so if someone if mid-dive it is impossible to legally tackle them.

Catch him then, that's not a tackle as he is not brought to ground:tongue:

This I would like to see, lets use Marler as the 'diver' and say, Jonny Sexton as the catcher.....

Props don't take a big dive to score its only the posing backs that do that:biggrin:
