What an offload and what a finish!
« on: December 10, 2018, 09:54:01 AM »
Yes I know it's sevens and I know it's the Yanks but they are currently topping the World Rugby Sevens Series table.

Interestingly, by countering the NZ tackles the way he did, Danny Barrett turned them into 'no arms tackles' hence making them illegal. Is there anything in the laws that says he can't do this?

Looked like more than setting for contact, surely you cannot shoulder charge a tackler, didn't Hughes get pinged for using his forearm?

I am not sure either of those two contacts is legal, but a bit of a grey area, as in both cases the tackler comes in from the side. If the tackler had been in front of him, and he had turned his shoulder in to them, he would/should be pinged.
