I was had a coach, who told us "when you are getting up of the deck, if you can put your hand into the thigh of the opposition player and push yourself up of it." wears the muscle down!"

It's all part and parcel of the game.
I personally don't see any problem with the odd late hit especially early on in the game.
As for holding onto the ball or pulling your oppsites jersey, this has been ongoing for years the mighty Sean Fitzpatrick was the master of these tricks.
I don't think this will change .

This is a very tricky question you have brought up!
I have always been a relatively clean player but the odd late tackle has slipped in being in the backrow! My coach has on a number of occasions said to me "the first tackle you put in on the opposition fly half has got to be made! Doesn't matter if it is late just do it!" He sees it as stamping you authority on the game! I call it dirty play and I will do my best to maje the tackle in time! I think that things like this have to be kept under control and it is as much up to the player as the coach to control this! Things like clearing players out have to be done sensibly and I have seen players get carried away and put a boot on the oppositions head!
It is a coaches responsibility to win matches wereas it is the players responsibility to do things with sense! By all means break the rules but dont do genuinely dangerous or malicious and if you do break the rules you have got to be ready to take the consequenses!

No
I think it is a coaches job to understand the interpretations of the law that refs use and devise methods of operation that exploit any loopholes that may arise - for example clearing opposition to far away from a ruck.
That said there is a fine line to walk. If a player is holding on to the ball in a ruck and has no intension of releasing - the ball should be ruck out of his possesion. At what level do you call this activity legal. I do not advocate that one wrong deserves anther - but I do not want slow ball either.

Morally, ethically and from all true sporting philosophies absolutely no. But we live in a cruel world, and reality raises ugly questions. I think the perfect answer is that we do not condone or encouirage/teach any kind of unlawful technique - especially one that poses a physical danger to another player - but we warn the players in our charge about what can happen accidentally or intentionally, and advise them on how to deal with it - via the referee in the first instance, and other courses of action if that fails. Coaching illegal techniques and tactics is the first step down a very long and slippery path to team and self-destruction.
