The correct decision is a charge. Provided a player establishes a legal guarding position s/he is entitled to turn to protect themselves. This is the only exception to the stipulation that contact has to be on the torso.

Could anyone tell me please whether the following
>situation is a block or a charge... Player A has the

>guarding position and turns to minimise the contact.
>Therefore the contact is on his shoulder, Is this a

>charge on the torso but it also states that you can
>turn to protect yourself. Which is right?
