first tackler contact up top to wrap the ball up and slow momentum, second tackler to go up top and stop momentum, third tackler to clamp the legs and wrestle the attacker on to his back. Stops the offload, and delays the play the ball.
And this is what is killing the game.
Whilst holding down in the tackle has improved a bit this season, it still clearly goes on and is coached in. It is a major detriment to the appeal of the sport and some referees allow more than others.
It would be far more appealing to rid our game of this and allow attacking sides to be able to run at imperfect defensive lines with the chance that we may see more line breaks and flair.
