Apparently a couple of broken ribs and unable to play finals was the result, there was no intention to tap the ball whatsoever.

Fair enough, he definitely intended to do it, had he of made contact with the ball would there still be an argument.
if he has been suspended that many times how is he still playing.

I’m very torn on this one.

Regularly bigger body rucks ‘protect the space’ AKA block out other lighter rucks from running and jumping at the ball. This is what happens as a result, they jump into the ruck blocking.

I also see the argument that this was intentional and not really an attempt to tap the ball.

I’ve heard people say for years they need to change the rules so bigger rucks can’t just block out lighter rucks from getting to the ball but as far as I am aware that hasn’t happened.
