Are two-footed lunges on Roddy legal?

If Michael O' Connor and Andy Myler play then they have more goals between them than the current squad (if there still is one!) could manage between themselves in a 5 year period. Any bets on how long it takes Micky to dive in the box??

Pooch Davis and Dutchy Dully are also lining out for the game so we could be in for a feast of goals!
