That tackle (or assault) on Shane seemed far more dangerous to me than what Sam did last week. Can someone explain the difference please.

Haven't seen it to comment, but will do later ....
But from what I heard, there was NO lifting involved, so obviously it will come under a different Law ! & If it was a dangerous tackle, I suspect it wasn't seen by Barnes or AR, & it WILL be picked up by the Citing Commissioner ... If it is, & the player gets a ban, it kind of re-enforces last weeks decision. Edited by scarletman - 21 October 2011 at 1:06pm |

This past week I've given up trying to fathom the rule book vs. ref interpretation or consistency. From now on I'm going ignore all understanding of the game of rugby and just assume the ref is always right, I'll let you know how it works out!

Jon.
it was a double tackle that spun ickle shane 360 degrees in the air and there wasn't even a penalty.. again all fans, players and coaches want is consistency. it's a bloody joke where a tackle that got warburton a 3 week ban (which in my opinion wasn't reckless or had any intent) compared to the one done on shane and nothing happens is the reason why rugby is such a joke sometimes when it comes to officiating.

Difficult one this. The tackler of the upper body had his arms around Shane. I don't see anything wrong with this.
The tackler of the lower body is what makes Shane flip up into the air. This looked like the more dangerous tackle to me. I think he initially goes for the charge down. But when he hits him it makes it look far worse than it is because Shane was airborne already. Could have been a penalty for dangerous play I reckon. But harsh if there is any sort of card for either tackle. |

TBH I don't see anything wrong with this. It looks like a charge down-cum tackle. A little late on Shane maybe but the tackler was already diving towards him when he kicked the ball.
Very harsh if we hear anything more on this IMO. It looks a lot worse than it was due to Shane only being a small guy getting his legs taken from under him thus making him go arse over tit!!

If either of those tackels had been done in isolation, we wouldn't be having this conversation I expect. But because both were done at the same time it looked like carnage. You can't penalise both Aussies for not being telepathic. |

Pocock Tackle legal both arms used below the collar,.... Palau NOT a tackle ... Both hands in front of Shane attempting charge down ! I think Citing WILL take a look, but dismiss it ! |

Scarletman I thought it was a dangerous tackle as the forward looked to dive into shane with his shoulder first. I will watch it a couple of more times on Sky + and probably still see it as a penalty. But talking of inconsitency how far forward was hooks pass for shanes try.

Wayne Barnes doesn't do forward passes. As history has shown.

Are we going to have these debates on every dodgy tackle in future?
