All Blacks vs Ireland
-
If i am a coach, i am having minimum three genuine chasers to every box kick now. Receiving team players physically won't be able to avoid every player, move away from one, you impede another. Only option is stand still. And you create yourself a huge advantage even if the receiver makes a clean catch.

2 players actively compete for the ball (one in the air, the other as a tackler), while the 3rd looks to initiate some contact and takes a swan dive

it was like the law makers were fixing a hole that wasn't broken
That was my thinking before I saw it in action
Since seeing it in action I actually think they have solved an issue
However, I get where you are coming from.
Ireland looked lost. One of their main ways of « cheating » was gone. I think it’s a great rule change. As long as refs aren’t over zealous.

I think it actually helped out kick contests, and the Irish struggled. By the end they were standing under our kicks not knowing if they should run a line or not

Did you watch the Aussie game? Looked very much to me like Salakaia-Lotu who had been retreating towards the ball, then changed his line to clear the area, or 'open up the space' as the refs have been saying - and the attacking chaser consequently clattered into him. For me, you don't have eyes in the back of your head, and therefore any change in direction is dangerous.
Naturally he was penalised for trying to follow the new 'law'. -
