@Stu10 - I've done this exact thing for the same result (and same resulting feelings about equity). And I'll never do that again.
IMO it's simply not fair, equitable, empathic (add adjective) the BC gets that sort of free shot.
Nothing in the laws that says you have to call 'tackle'and when. So I now say nothing in this close to try line and let the players sort it out (ie more time to push the BC back, or take to ground fully (not just one knee) etc etc. IMO I'd delay any call, let the dynamics happen, and something more clear generally evolves without unfair advantage to one side.
