this isnt mere pedantry: if you want the advantage of tapping the ball from your hands you have to be able to catch an take the risk that you won't.
Exactly - there was an occassion in the AB v Canada match where Brad Thorn took a quick tap, but having to it properly slowed him down enough that the Canadian defence could catch him without much momentum. If he'd done a foot touch style tap, he'd have made a further 2 or 3 metres and possibly even gone over.
