Blues v Cheetahs
-
some optional soft defence at the moment
-
Do I not understand the maul rules. I thought if you tackled the player with the ball, that was not collapsing

No, that is still collapsing maul.

me neither, but that looked very OK to me, he came through the middle and then sacked the maul. He didn't even tackle him like grab the legs or anything, he just fell on him and the Cheetahs player was too weak and collapsed.

think that was a fair call by the ref, not enough in it to warrant anything else
-
Quite glad the Cheetahs are taking the 3 here.

I fucking hate mauls. Totally go against the offside and obstruction laws and the fundamental aspect of defenders tackling the ball carrier.
I can't disagree, mauls shouldn't be allowed immediately following line outs. that could be a rule.There's almost no legal way to defend unless the attackers f&%k up.
