A comment from another thread that a legal tackle resulting in an injury is not a reason to card a player reminded me of this incident. It happend on the weekend where the tackled player suffered a compound fracture.

Don't worry you don't see the break.
Do you think think this tackle was legal? (The referee did not apply a sanction for the tackle)
I've recently noticed an increase that chasing tacklers will grasp a player and seem to deliberately entangle their legs and feet to trip up a player or is it just a momentum thing? Any illegality of a trip seems to be masked by the legal grasping? Or am I just trying to see illegal things because of the outcome?
