"Roll away, 2". And he rolled away.
There is a lot of quick turnover of possession here - from Stormers to Sharks and back to Stormers. Stormers' prop Brok Harris charges and Sharks' hooker Bismarck du Plessis brings him down as players gather.
The referee calls: "Roll away, 2."
2 is Du Plessis.
Du Plessis obeys, which is a wise thing to do, and moves his body to his left with hands clearly not involved in anything nefarious. In doing this he leaves a clear channel for the ball.

(b) The tackler must immediately get up or move away from the tackled player and from the ball at once.

Du Plessis sets a good example.
This week we shall have several tackle examples as the tackle has caused so many talking points.
