      @Kiwiwomble said in Rugby World Cup news:

      i honestly dont get how things work, actual direct contact to the head gets less than a dangerous tackle that resulted in the head hitting the ground after shoulder contact etc

      I actually think Kiwi whatever we think of cases, without being stupid ,the end result could well of been Farrell knocked his fella out. Moala's could of ended up in wheelchair with a broken neck.
      I admit to being real leery of broken necks having being on a sideline when a young fella broke his neck (not from tackle), the a year later a young fella I had coached at times as a kid, and a mate of son (platyed in a couple of teams with him) also ended up in a wheelchair in a dangerous tackle in a league game (he was only 20) , and also had a situation where own son had a suspected broken neck in a college game, (scaredest I ever been in my life in the ambulance on way to hospital.
      Only explained that in why I think tip tackles are so bad, in no way playing down on risk of brain injuies etc, and agree high shots also have to be jumped on!!

                No match thread

                Cracking match

                Italy v Japan
                Back and forth

                Italy too strong and accurate at the end

                Italy 42-21 Japan

                Worst commentary team ever

                One bird on coke, the other on tramadol

                Nightmare

                  Am I missing a joke or do some people not know how to spell Pumas?

                  As Canes said I hit O instead of P when saying how I thought things were strom in a teacup. I often do that, don't really tend to concetrate when replying on forums, as I admit to usually doing it while watching tv etc. I not a huge internet fan, only really come into rugby forums and tend to just type as quick as my clumsy fingers will do it and never check.

                        If you want to be the best, sometimes you have to beat the best

                        Most open pool stages ever

                        That can’t be a bad thing

                              They are professional athletes. They should already know how to tackle. Don't incentivise going to school by reducing the punishment. Their incentive should be to learn how to not do it again so it doesn't cost them caps or money from missing games
