Just an accident unless he was meant to anticipate the players head dropping to where his chest was a split second before. <br>
Slomo makes it look like he had lots of time to realise but he didn't -

Sam Cane has been cited:<br>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Chiefs' Sam Cane cited for dangerous tackle</span></span></strong><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color:#4d4d4d;">A dangerous tackle by Chiefs' co-captain Sam Cane on Jaguares' prop Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro has been picked up by the SANZAAR judiciary and could result in a ban for the young flanker.</span></strong></span></span><br>
<br><span style="color:#4d4d4d;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">The incident came in the 64th minute when Cane made contact with Chaparro's head. </span></span><br>
<br><span style="color:#4d4d4d;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">Chaparro was then stretchered off the field as the Chiefs' moved on to claim a 30-24 victory over the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="color:#4d4d4d;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">Cane is alleged to have been in breach of Law 10.4 where SANZAAR states that a player "must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders."</span></span><br>
<br><span style="color:#4d4d4d;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">The Citing Commissioner deemed that Cane's tackle met the red card threshold for foul play.</span></span></p>

<p>Quick citing sweepstake on Sam's ban/verdict</p>

<p>Can we agree that Sam actually started at about chest (upper chest if you like) and the guy slipped or ducked and unfortunately copped it "high"? No real malice involved?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok I'll put in the first outlier: Commission decides all accidental no case to answer for (oi, stop giggling, it might happen)</p>

<p>Any other predictions/ number of weeks?</p> -
<p>Sorry, just saw this impossibility: <span style="color:rgb(77,77,77);font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(247,247,247);"> "even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders."</span></p>

Just watched it on replay. I'm really impressed, and have learned my lesson for not tipping them :)<br><br>
Although I'm sure they didn't want to expose him, Moli looks at home at this level, unlike others. The single worst decision I can remember from the Chiefs coaches is taking Yamashita. I have no idea why they did that. <br><br>
Bloody fun game to watch. Midfield was good, although I didn't think that ALB was thaaaat good that he should keep Taimanivalu out. Still, as mentioned above, he's looking more at home at this level, and it isn't a weak area for us.<br><br>
I'm happy to be 3-1 as it was my hope after 4 games, but also pissed that we didn't put the Lions away. -

<p>Fences are standard for all football grounds in South America. I was surprised there weren't more at this stadium like River Plate stadium.</p> -

<p>Don't refs usually award a penalty but skip the card for those kinda incidents? Like when that Saffa slipped into Messam's tackle a couple years ago?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who the fuck knows what SANZAAR will do though. May as well decide it by coin toss.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>gt12, I think ALB was good enough to deserve the starting spot next week. Otherwise I'm fine with them rotating.</p> -

Seems like something you can do away with for rugby games. More wondering if it's really needed for an Argentinian rugby crowd. -

I think he might be special too, but he hasn't been that special yet. Sometimes he looks a bit Regan King, hopefully without the injuries.<br><br>
Anyway, I say 1 week for Cane. -
<p>That was a good game to watch. ALB has always looked pretty good in the Chiefs to me to be honest if a little raw at times.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ngatai must be inching a step closer each week to the 12 test jumper? He's just nice and solid out there and will cart it up if need be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Chiefs seem to enjoy playing loosies at look, it's almost like they need to select two extra locks in the squad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ben T is a big loss (compounded of course by Laulala's injury). Dave should have asked Hansen to select the big fella one time last year to keep him in the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Jaguares are a breath of fresh air and hopefully they can put in good week in and week out performances.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tony Johnson was obviously shrilling for Matt Todd during the commentary with the way he was wahing on about Cane. Worse than it looked, it would only be a penalty on field if for a tackle and as someone noted above the bigger issue was that he came in from the side.</p>

<p>At this point of the competition, i.e for this match, the Chiefs schedule is way worse than the Jaguares. They did bloody well considering.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You seem to be on an anti Chiefs lean here - don't forget Allardice and Horrell still play for them. ;)</p> -
If cane gets any ban then will Sam henwood be next in line? <br><br><br>

<p>Any news on Bardoul's injury?</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Broken thumb, likely needing surgery. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So Seu would have to move into lock and another lock drafted in from a WTG.</p> -
<p>Will certainly be getting the loosie situation in more of a muddle. Especially with the need for cover at lock.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Could play Vaipulu at 7 (as he does sometimes for CM) but if Bardoul is also injured and out then Henwood could, as you say, be next in line.</p>
