No charge

Charge Detail:

Player grips on opponent’s left arm as other defender grips the ball and right arm. Another defender is at the base of the tackle, bringing opponent to ground. As the two other defenders contribute on bringing the player to ground, the player trips over the legs of the defender on the ground. Player comes down with the tackle on opponent and has no grip with the left arm which demonstrates some attempt to let the opponent’s head through the contact. Pressure is applied to the opponent but it is deemed accidental given the nature of the contact of all tacklers involved.
