That should have been a yellow against Tuilagi.
Just can't help himself.
Absolutely excellent tackle.
I didn't see anything wrong with it.

@sparky I agree the officials had a look. They thought it was ok. That's sufficient, no?

If that's the new directive / standard, then fair enough.
But we all know it isn't.
He led with his right shoulder and made contact with his right shoulder with his left arm low and slow like he'd broken it.
9 times out of 10 it's a yellow.

Sure seems like it, they were imperious in the long winning streak and beating ABs etc. But last 6N and now, not so much. But I find it so hard to read into these games, look at ABs v Oz, and Sco vs Fr, and Wales v Eng - different results a week apart. Quite different in the case of some of them.
Still if Ire and Wales share their next 2 tests, we'll be rightfully on top of the rankings

So, wait and see, whether his case is similar to that of Patty T, or whether he has taken something. Innocent until proven guilty (by his B sample).
South Africa wing Aphiwe Dyantyi, who won world rugby's breakthrough player award in 2018, says he has failed a doping test. Dyantyi said in a statement he tested positive for a banned substance at a Springboks training camp in July. He denied taking "any prohibited substance, intentionally or negligently, to enhance my performance on the field'' and has requested his `B' sample be tested. The substance was not named.He last played a test in November and has been limited by injury this season. He wasn't expected to be included in the Springboks' Rugby World Cup squad, which will be named on Monday. In his statement, Dyantyi said: "I believe in hard work and fair play. I have never cheated and never will. "The presence of this prohibited substance in my body has come as a massive shock to me, and together with my management team and experts appointed by them, we are doing everything we can to get to the source of this and to prove my innocence. "Taking any prohibited substance would not only be irresponsible and something that i would never intentionally do, it would also be senseless and stupid. I underwent a drug-test on June 15 2019 (only two weeks prior to the July 2 testing) which did not return any adverse finding." -
