I’ve never ever understood why you can’t. I have always assumed there is concern about injury to players who get tackled around the legs as they’re kicking or preparing to but I don’t really see any extra inherent risk in performing such an action anyway; if a player is about to kick the ball chances are his opponent will try and tackle him around the waist anyway.It is a ridiculous rule. Tripping using your feet - of course that should be outlawed but using your hands? Makes no sense to outlaw it
