All Blacks v BI Lions Test #2
-
Gatland's comments appear to be in response to Kaino's actions on one particular occasion. And I have no problem with him saying something. In that instance, Kaino can't say he is trying to charge down the kick from Murray, or tackle him.
The other stuff is all part of the game as kickers get hassled all the time.

Was that the ruck where the Lions 8 pushed Kaino over?

@Toddy I don't know.
I just remember Kaino coming from the opposite side to charge down a right-footed box kick from Murray but he never got there in time so ended up collecting Murray's feet after he had already kicked the ball.
I'm sure someone can make a gif of it to confirm.

Look at the arms. Full commitment to a charge-down.

-
yeah nothing to complain about in that one, Faletau has made it 'worse' if you could argue that was bad at all.

Making contact with the non kicking foot , the planted foot , at the time of kicking is a penalty in the NRL now , deemed dangerous ,
Be interesting to see if they do the same in union

slightly different aims and actions between the two games though. In league you've generally got a guy with a 10m run up going flat out at the kicker, trying to pressure a mistake, and rarely trying to charge the ball (6 again!). Can't say I've seen a heap of injuries from charging kicks in rugby to require a rule tweak
-
Yeah prob right , league you had guys cannoning in at the kickers legs ,
And usually the million dollar playmakers

In fact the better tactic would be to start him at 15 and then move him to 10 when things open up a bit.
Was interesting in the aftermatch interview with him and TJ, he said he doesn't mind moving form 10 to 15, but doesn't like moving from 15 to 10

That is interesting. I guess the best thing is to keep him at 10 then

Not read Gatland's comments, but Kaino has ploughed through Murray's standing leg. Mis-judged/timed rather than malicious, but dangerous all the same imo.
And the clown thing again? Kiwi press really need some new material.
-
@Margin_Walker I think you mean Faletau has pushed Kaino through Murray's leg.
