for me
- but for a tackled player : we generally tolerate it, by convention
I'd suggest the convention is there to stop clod hopping second rows from accidentally booting the ball away, keeping it tidy - but it shouldn't be there to prevent the oppo from claiming the ball legally.
But the game seems to have developed a nuance whereby its only becomes legally claimable once the conventionally permitted hand is actually removed. Ye gods!
