@Daffy-Jaffy got off lightly IMO

Looked like he dropped the shoulder and closed his eyes and didn't see the ball carrier had changed direction

@MiketheSnow that’s charitable

Perth rugby player cops 96-game ban for shoulder charge on ref
The suspension, reported to be one of the longest handed down in club rugby, will mean the player won't be able to play for nearly five years.

If it was an accident, you'd think he'd show a little concern or remorse immediately after the fact. Looked deliberate to me.

Waratahs prepare Sydney farewell for Hooper as Olympics loom on horizon
Michael Hooper is set to play his last game for NSW at home next week. But the veteran’s future is still to be decided, with a sevens swansong in Paris a live option.
Good decision to cash in now. His form has dropped away in the last 12 months.
Do you think he'll still be the starting 7 for the Wallabies this year? Or has he been passed by others?

never thought, at test level, he was any more than "good" but by christ his effort and desire to win was elite. If a few more of his Wallaby teammates had the same intensity as him they would have done a lot better over the years. Gave absolutely everything for the jersey.

I never understood Wallaby supporters who didn't want him in the team.

Nobody understands Queenslanders. Best not to try.

He has been nothing less than 'very good' for Australia and is often 'excellent'

@MiketheSnow fair
His impact against us hasn't been as pronounced though

Mostly because every other gold jersey on the park was getting mullered.

So is Hooper retiring, or has he signed somewhere else (returning to Japan?)? The last thing I read was that he was even considering playing sevens. Haven't heard anything since.
