Folau falls into an extremely high risk category, glory for an almost impossible mark against the certainty of colliding with a player already in the air, giving away a penalty and either a yellow or red card. And all of this is to simply retain possession near the halfway after scoring, against giving away possession and a penalty and a send off after scoring ie giving momentum back to the opposition
Sounds like a bone headed ploy clown would love
