He's another Australian player who was really good at one point in 2011, and then sorta hasn't been since.
It's good for rugby down here he's back though, good for the Super competition, good for the Wallabies, good to get a player coming the other way for once. I hope he goes well.

@Kirwan Leitch was stupid but at least playing the man with the ball, Luatuas wasnt.
Not comparable.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, mine is a shoulder to the head is worse than an arm. Whether they have the ball or not doesn't protect the head much.

@Stargazer The replay from the other angle makes it abundantly clear how bad that was. He should sit out at least four weeks.

Complete bottle job not carding him for an obvious and dangerous foul

Yeah the "he just mistimed his jump" was bullshit... he timed his jump exactly right for what he was trying to do.
Decisions like that support the theory that "if you jump, you're all good"
