You can pull a guy down from behind, what you cannot do is land on the back of his legs. Drop to the side of his legs is fine. There is a line and that line is the hands on the hips and drop onto the legs. Now from what I understand, you can also tackle the legs from behind, you just can't put your hands on his hips to do so. There are a couple of Rugby video's that show the difference in the banned rear tackle and the ok one when it comes to this type of "hip drop" technique. Basically, "hip drop" the turf, not the legs.
Exactly.
Now answer me this. Do you trust the refs to get this call right? Even 50% of the time?
