@Higgins I've never in my many years of rugby seen someone concussed from a fend to the face though. Entirely undangerous in the scheme of things.
Now bump offs to the head would be almost the most common, and now by lowering tackles to below the hips you'll see 1000% more of those. Stupidest law change I've ever heard. The chest height tackle is the safest tackle in rugby.
Can you explain what you mean by bump offs to the head? Do you mean when the tackler gets the head position wrong?
@Crucial you can deliberately come back into the head if a low tackler commits too early

No try in my book

Well deserved Argentina
-
The last 2 mins showed what is wrong with this team - a lack of speed with most of the older players. Laidlaw's selections are so poor.

How the fuck do they ignore Solo being tackled well after he kicked it?
The standard of officiating is putting me off watching.

@Bovidae when they moved Baker on i thought a couple of others would follow , youth is the way to move forward .guys like weber and collier should have been moved on as well .

Collier annoys me, you don't want your biggest player getting bossed and run over in defence. How many missed tackles?
No idea why Webber remained on the field.

@Bones Sam Dickson in the main was good but was also guilty of missing a couple of crucial one on one tackles when it mattered.

@Bones I was wondering about that, too, but didn't want to say it haha.
Looked clear as daylight to me, and it looked like the ref signalled something about that initially too - but the argie captain did his job harassing him and made him forget it.

Of the older players, Dickson has been great, Rokolisoa also good, but Collier and Webber shouldn't be in the squad, and Molia not more than a sub.
