he's off the ground, i seem to remember that being a penalty?

[Tim]

@mariner4life I approve of it not being called. Don't jump for passes if you don't want to be exposed.

oh totally, i was just bringing up a bitter past episode

that's a good shot on a poor sucker given an awful pass

[Stargazer]

@Tim Not jump to catch a ball and just let the opposition get it?

[Tim]

@Stargazer Well, you might get driven back.

[Stargazer]

@Tim The tackler should just get his timing right.

@Bones Someone noticed.

I saw that on FB the other day, complete with hyperbolic headline:

Watch: South African fans erupt as Sharks player hit with horror tackle in Currie Cup semi-final

Oh it was Rugby Pass, I think I get thier feed on my FB because people I know follow it...

No way is that a penalty, nor was the one that Sinckler fluffybunny won for the LIons, and got all stroppy about it too.

If it is, it opens up another avenue to milk penalties and disrupt defensive patterns (and not in a good way)

How not to kick the ball out on the full with time up...

?

[Bones]

@Machpants classic. He didn't even have to kick it, just fall over holding it.

[Machpants]

Watching Bristol Vs Bath. Fuck me Semi, Charles P, Steven L, are on a different planet. Even Afoa was great

@Tim as soon as he made the break the fullback decided he wasn't tackling him.

Some of the early tacklers did some good revolving door impressions too.

That's pretty common with Semi, but the fullback took the cake by running to the opposite side of the field even before Semi had got past halfway.
