This is why fans get frusutrated and angry as they see coaches not knowing the rules and then automatically presume th coach is right and the refs made a mistake, the mistakes were his and his players not the match officials.
It's been the rule since 2010.
Interpretation: Where opponents do not make a tackle effective in the quickest possible manner but then attempt to drag an opponent into touch or back towards his own in goal area then the referee should immediately call held.
Application: This does not prevent players driving an opponent into touch or back into his own in goal area providing that a team mate of the ball carrier has not added their weight to the tackle. As soon as the referee sees a tackling player dragging the ball carrier in a tackle that involves more than one tackler he will call “held”. If the tackling players continue to move the ball carrier after the “held” call they should be penalised.
