@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.
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.

What Bones said.

@Margin_Walker Faletau not in the shot? Okaaaay....who's the guy in the red 8 shirt? No wonder the lions are complaining, obviously NZ are sending out randoms to pretend they're lions players and cheat to try and bring down the lions! Disgraceful.
-
Not in the shot when the contact between him and Kaino took place.
-
@Margin_Walker go look in the match thread there is the wider angle that shows Faletau push into Kaino
-
@mariner4life I only remember one occasion, TKBs kicking knee got injured in maybe 2014 in SA becouse someone hit it while trying to charge down the kick. They then ended up with Colin Slade at half back for the last ten or so.
-
Yeah, have seen that. Very little contact for me and Kaino has to do better.
Kaino's even come out today and said he got his timing wrong and it wasn't his intention to target his planted foot. Which is fair enough and case closed for me.
-
@Margin_Walker any contact in that situation will affect Kainos direction.
I bet the case won't be closed tomorrow still.
-
Yep, contact will have an impact on his direction. I just think Kaino had time to avoid that contact though (and he seems to admit as much). Aware I'm obviously swimming against the tide here though and am not really fussed about labouring the point any more.
