LAWS OF LEAPING ARE UP IN THE AIR

AERIAL duels are a problem area, as was highlighted again at Twickenham. Joaquin Tuculet had every right to leap for the ball, but his efforts led to Mike Brown’s head-first fall. It was an accident but some referees would have shown Tuculet red. That would have been a harsh outcome, but this is an issue which polarises opinion and defies common sense.
