Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3129923, member: 8215"] This is a myth now. The crackdown doesn't stop the wrestle, it's only used to penalise teams that are working players over when they're already on the ground, like keeping your hand on the ball or getting off too slow. In itself, it does help speed up the ruck, but it's not because it's eliminating wrestle. The best wrestling teams use their tactics while the ball-runner is still upright, holding them up and slowly dancing them around while their defensive line sets, before the tackled player is on the ground. That's why we are getting penalised so much, despite actively avoiding wrestling. It's the prolonged efforts on the ground, trying to slow down the ruck long after we'd already lost control of it.
