Quote: Him "
No it wasn't. The rule was changed to deal with ambiguous situations such as a player not hearing the held call or their play/pass being simultaneous with the held call. It wasn't changed to deal with a player being tackled (his ball carrying arm hit the ground whilst being held by a defender) but deciding not to play the ball but carry on playing. Escare had a rush of blood, he made a mistake. But it was his mistake to not play the ball after being tackled, no-one else's. '"
Spot on. You can't just get up and run off once you've been tackled - there was nothing ambiguous about it.
