A Tackler Release A is always the call made by the referee in a tackle situation whether it is in an international test match or during the Digicel Cup competition.

But unfortunately most teams are still penalised when it comes to this area of the game and it was obvious in last week's Digicel Cup semifinal between Naitasiri and Suva.

Fiji's leading referee, James Bolabiu who has just returned from a 3 week referees refresher course in South Africa said that some changes in this rule has led to a lot of debate during the All Blacks, Springboks and the Wallabies Tri-Nation Test matches.

He added that players playing in the second Digicel Cup semifinal between Nadroga and Lautoka this Saturday have to understand these changes as the referee will be very strict in making his decision.
