Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

Watch this one here.

Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

It looks almost perfect.

Omur at the back splits.

But look at Fahey here, who joins from the side for a start.

Then he gets in front of Omur and he physically drags him over the line.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

If you watch the replay, he drags him over the line.

How is that legal?

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

Well, to me... It looks worse.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

Yeah, it doesn't look right.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

And I still go back to the point of being... It's a contestable game and I don't see how the defensive side...

can actually stop this particular part of the game.

Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

Well, they've got to look at players joining from the side.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

That's against the law straight away.

We're going to have a three-hour game because you're going to go through 19 different replays of this, but it's not right.

And every time I watch it, I just think there's something that I don't get about this, how you've got a guy here, you've got players coming in from the side here, and somehow that's actually legal when it's against the rules.

Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

I go right back to the Wales versus Scotland game where Scotland got out of jail against Wales, where one that looked illegal as well.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff The Ref: Should Tip Tacklers in Rugby be Sin Binned?

It seems to me it's an area of the game where no one is policing.

Everyone's looking the other way.
