Highlanders v Force
-
The Force kicker looks a bit 'special' when he kicks for goal.
-
What's he supposed to do with the sudden change of direction etc? ... But YC for consistency in this day and age...
@Mattasaurus If you arent in a position to make a safe tackle you don't make a tackle, obviously.

I don't like that reasoning, the answer is not make a dangerous tackle. However if a guy nearly falling over is considered upright then there's something wrong.

@Bones I also dont like that it is called 'foul play'
To me, foul indicates dirty play

@Bones well, with your lid I expect people were trying to improve it

They would've had quite the challenge on their hands.

Watch it at normal speed...
Certainly no malice.. Not deliberately head hunting..
Im guessing it's being implied that he was beaten, therefore shouldn't attempt the tackle.. As he wasn't going to be able to get low enough.

they almost ran out! None were coming back to the game
@nzzp ..plenty of bogans in the crowd that night

Gilbert is not really playing like a normal 10
-
Makalio having difficulty getting onside.
-
Of interest, in u10 grade and below tackle, the tackle height must now be below the sternum... I believe the intent is to carry this through the older grades in coming seasons too
Not sure if specifics, just what we were told at small Blacks course.

He looks like he's carrying an excess 10 kegs

Not sure what you're arguing with here. Normal speed or not, it's penalty at best, Dickson was really low. "what's he supposed to do" is not a defence though

How does that work if the ball carrier drops at the last moment like everyone is taught to do?

What I'm poorly articulating.. Is that in that situation players when beaten and out of position to make a safe tackle shouldn't attempt the tackle in the 1st place..

@Crazy-Horse If you are properly bent at the waist and someone drops into your shoulder you won't be penalized (if the laws are applied correctly).
That isn't what happened.

but that is part of the issue IMO, they arent, well not consistently at least
