Stormers v Hurricanes (Round 1)
-
Yeah dead right more dangerous for the tackler I am sure a few of us have had a knee or hip impact from getting it slightly wrong in the hit
If it’s dangerous then it’s touch rugby nowhere left to hit someone with force.Let me be clear, I've no problem with players tackling low
Riccitelli tackle technique wasn't great either His head was on the wrong side & he was fortunate to not cop a knee to his headDanger element for Kolisi was lateness of tackle Blind side hit to mid thigh area causing knee ligament damage This was a pattern of bad tackles & cynical infringements by Canes in Cape Town

You're not being clear. It's marginally late at best.
As for the hilarious statement that tackling around the thigh area is disgusting and dangerous...hmmmm....how many times do ya reckon it occurs in a game?
You'll find neck rolls, side entries & no arms used in dozens of rucks per game It's open season
-
I feel the tackle was very stupid obviously late and completely unnecessary. He could easily have pulled out.
Bit of silliness in this thread first game from the canes in south africa judge them in 3 weeks
-
@muddyriver When they come back from a road trip SA>Arg>NZ to face an SA side who have already had an extra week in NZ? Judge all the teams in 5 or 6 weeks, truth tends to out by then.

@macandcheese
you seem a bit angry -
I'm a little annoyed I don't like grubs & cheap shots like that in Rugby
-
@macandcheese fair enough. Must leave a very shallow pool of players to follow though.

A bit over the top comment.

Like to comment on the head shots from the Stormers players. That was ignored by the officials.

None if he gets on his high horse about this incident. It happens all the time. It more carelessness as opposed to dirty play. Fifita's yellow card was worse

Utterly terrible to tackle someone around the legs

I'm not convinced you know anything about rugby if you claim a player tackling around the legs makes him a "piece of shit".
-
@Machpants now South Africans playing the victim, that’s novel..!,the tackle was a tad late, but as much I am no fan of Riccitelli , I am sure it was not intended to dish out that sort of injury ..,just unfortunate in my book..!
-
@Steven-Harris If you have to believe the comments on some of the South African FB pages about Kolisi's injury, Riccitelli intentionally injured the Springboks captain, planned to tackle him late in advance and should face a ban of the same duration as Kolisi's stay in the injury ward!

Why would you do that to yourself?

@antipodean To have a good laugh about all the conspiracy theories going around. Apparently, NZ controls SANZAAR :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes: , resulting in Kiwi players not being carded or "sighted" for offences South African players are being carded or "sighted" for and Kiwis getting shorter suspensions in the few instances our players are being "sighted". And that all while South Africans are paying for Super Rugby.
That's apparently also the reason why South African players all move to the NH.You should have read the complaints about the Jaguares v Lions game being at a later time than initially advertised. They had to stay up for a game that started at 1.00am instead of 11.40pm. The world almost came to an end!

"sighted"
It's the invisibility cloak that Richie handed on. Amazing that a player is sighted at all so that they can be cited.
Also the use of the word is weird - reporting a player for foul play is hardly praising or commending. Being cited in the military is good thing. Being cited is also an official order to appear in court (the rugby meaning). All very contradictory for one word.Context is everything I guess.
