<p>well I expect Ngatai thought a player of Dixons quality would have caught it...or do we have to stand back and wait to see now?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yes. You can't tackle a player withoiut the ball. That's an old law</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The ball bounced but it was just a kick retrieval. How hard is it to grasp that fact?</p> -

<p>I agree Frank.</p> -

Unfortunate, but that's always going to be a yellow under the current interpretations.<br><br>
More concerning is the most incompetent TMO in the game trying to convince the ref it was a red. I'm amazed he keeps getting matches</p>

<p>If Dixon lands on his shoulder, it is red. You could argue that he did.</p> -

<p>Hmmm this debate is typical of rugby forums</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) Chiefs supporter: fckn ref, not even a penalty</p>
<p>2) Clan supporter: definite red, looking at a couple of weeks on the sidelines</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Take the patches off people...and this is coming from a Crusaders man :P</p>

<p>Ummm....I'm a Highlanders supporter...</p> -
<p>Great try despite repeated infringements</p>

And that right there is what would concern me about D Mac at test level. One on one with Naholo... like a man vs a kid, only going to end one way.

Not really, I've seen him bumped off very easily a few times this season. Hell of a player but as a last line of defense he is a concern - at 10 he'd be fine. -

<p> </p>
<p>oh right, you stick with that argument then...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So you should now be penalised for tackling a man without the ball if he fails to catch it?</p>
