I said this at the time the rule change came into effect

It happens so often when a ball carrier anticipates a big hit coming , it's a natural defence

Stupid rule anyway

So you would rather we make rules up than follow them correctly?

No they dont. Most forwards lead with the ball carrying arm.

So still not the shoulder then

If you lead with the shoulder there is only one side the ball can readily be off-loaded, so pretty limiting tactic.

Thats the point, in this country we have made up the rule of moving forward at the contact of ball and ground durrr
