Me too, perfect chance for them. Especially in attacking areas. That said, her persisted with Tav who needed a goal and got two and he could we'll have been one for the chop in that game. He faded when we settled down into game management mode.
They would and they do. Kane does this to 6ft + 13st defenders regularly. If you're pushed at that point in your leap you have no control of your landing (hence why it is outlawed in rugby).
It happens all the time but probably shouldn't.
I would say it wasn't a deliberate attempt to cause injury but I am certain the defender knew he was not going to win the challenge and could have pulled out.
He was comically late.
Is the mortality rate so high because they are more commonly from things like car accidents which will also have a lot of other significant injuries due to the nature of the event?
