depends on what mood the ref is in.....thats the problem with this rule. It could be called 30 times a game if they called it the way they're supposed to on both offense and defense

Yes, but are these really judgement calls on these types of plays? I mean...when the ball comes flying out of the scrum like a pop-gun, everybody knows what caused that to occur (i.e. lowered crown of helmet making contact with ball).

Maybe the argument against making the call is that the helmet is making contact with the ball instead of the player? But even in that case, the ball carrier is still getting hit with that tackle.
