Yes, because... Bringing down the reputation of the sport
Diving is bringing down the sports reputation. People are being turned off from the constant cheating that they witness when they turn on a 'top-level' match. Football players are seen as not only cheats, but wimps. Diving is the greatest advert Rugby has ever had!
Diving is not necessarily done with the intention of cheating. Sometimes if a player is in a position where a tackle has thrown them off balance it is safer for them to go to the floor than to try and stay on their feet and risk injury. Rugby players should know that a controlled 'going to ground' is less likely to cause an injury than struggling to stay on their feet. An injury can ruin a player's career.
