@Rembrandt said in RWC: All Blacks v Namibia (Pool :

honestly what do you do when an opposition is at knee level? Do you just stand down?

Analysis from ITV (Bloody good, BTW ) saying it was for a swinging arm.

And questioned what a player is supposed to do with his limbs when falling down

Just fall on your head, apparently. Can't use your arms to break your fall, because they might touch someone's neck or head.

[MrDenmore]

It is physically impossible to tackle a player below the shoulders when they are a foot off the ground. Stupid, officious and pedantic and doing nothing for players’ safety.

Next question is... will we lose Ofa or Nepo for the Italy game - and then if we did, does Hansen call up... Franks? someone else?

Reiki Ioane is coming dangerously close to beating somebody

At fortnite?

[Nevorian]

Jordie just about performing dangerous play on himself there banging his head into the turf

[canefan]

Jordie has had a very good game

It only becomes a a swinging arm when there is contact with the head, otherwise it's a standard tackle

Pretty much what the ITV bloke said

[taniwharugby]

@westcoastie Nepo's one is the only one in danger of being cited (he says...)

[westcoastie]

ALB being tackled around the neck in that build-up to Barretts try

@No-Quarter you have to wrap your arms, you can’t lead with your shoulder. Have to stand in front and let them hit you, or let them go past and tackle from side.

[gt12]

Pretty cool passage of play.

TJ very good

Then you get penalised for flopping on a player.

TJ first choice 10 confirmed.

Na that's too dangerous. They might land face first.

He looked good as a midfield back in that spell.

[broughie]

@gt12 Perenara is a gamer. Some excellent running and passing there.

[gt12]

That’s a try.

[sparky]

Great for Jordie to get a try. Has done a very solid job today.

[taniwharugby]

I reckon Webers pass may have been forward
