@@MagicMacXXL Ref might not give a red for it. But no you can’t jump into the tackle like this.

@@georgelaundon but he didn’t jump pinto the tackle but jumped over the tackle. Should be allowed.

It's not a red card offense, there's nothing to enforce such play. You can hurdle a player. Could a ref interpret it as dangerous play? possibly but nothing stating this is illegal
