No No to the Boot Boot

In response to a question on the STRR site, Referee (and former DARC Captain) Mark Woods explained that you can't put your boots on a player in any way! There is no difference between a "rake" and a "stomp".

"Paddy O`Brien, the iRB director of referees, has issued a decree that NO boots may be used on a player at all. It matters not if you think you are raking, rucking or going for the ball, a players body is out of bounds for you boots. You may only use your boots directly on the ball."
