Polo Rules

I actually really like the forearms rule, now that I understand how they meant it.

As you say I was the only person I saw that was called for "making space", but I think if reffed well, it's a good rule, I think from a safety point of view using a forearm as a buffer is better than waiting for your shoulder to make contact.

In my experience, using or having your steering elbow used as an initial contact point inevitable ends in a loss of control/avoidable crash - therefore not 'safe'.
