The second: Argue Brayshaw’s lack of turning side on to brace for impact, along with a slight move inward, is something Maynard could not control and could not reasonably foresee. As the Tribunal said that night: “All flight can be misjudged and leaps mistimed” and it is “not careless for a player to do no more than brace for contact in those circumstances.”
