Jesus's that's ridiculous
Upright in the tackle 🤣 what a load of shit - he almost fell over!
-
What's he supposed to do with the sudden change of direction etc? ... But YC for consistency in this day and age...

Can remember a league test in Palmerston North where the ball went missing for about 3 or 4 minutes ..
they almost ran out! None were coming back to the game

I don't like that reasoning, the answer is not make a dangerous tackle. However if a guy nearly falling over is considered upright then there's something wrong.
-
The Force kicker looks a bit 'special' when he kicks for goal.
-
@Mattasaurus If you arent in a position to make a safe tackle you don't make a tackle, obviously.

@Bones I also dont like that it is called 'foul play'
To me, foul indicates dirty play

High tackles were pretty dirty in my day 😁

@Bones well, with your lid I expect people were trying to improve it

They would've had quite the challenge on their hands.

Watch it at normal speed...
Certainly no malice.. Not deliberately head hunting..
Im guessing it's being implied that he was beaten, therefore shouldn't attempt the tackle.. As he wasn't going to be able to get low enough.

Gilbert is not really playing like a normal 10
-
Makalio having difficulty getting onside.
-
Of interest, in u10 grade and below tackle, the tackle height must now be below the sternum... I believe the intent is to carry this through the older grades in coming seasons too
Not sure if specifics, just what we were told at small Blacks course.
