Springboks v All Blacks I

[Stargazer]

They want players to tackle low. This shows that tackling at any height has big risks.

[No Quarter]

Faf was flying around like a maniac. Ouch, hope he's OK..

[ACT Crusader]

Ouch. Slipping into the massive leg of Clarke.

[Crazy Horse]

Crackdown on lifting the knee in the tackle coming up...

Yeah, I thought he looked a bit reckless the way he threw himself into that tackle.

@Stargazer

And wasn't there a study that highlighted how it was predominantly the tackler who got injured, not the tacklee.

One of the great fallacies of the head injury saga.

If you're positioning and technique is shithouse

@Crazy-Horse

Didn't they get Alesana Tuilagi for that in the World Cup. With a Japanese player.

2015?

[Yeetyaah]

Oh Angus

[ACT Crusader]

Short arm and the scrum never even set

[Steve]

@ACT-Crusader

We will be hearing a lot from Gardner today.

[Victor Meldrew]

Well at least we didn't spend the first 2 minutes in our 22...

[Jailbreak7]

Same old. What have we learned

[Damo]

Really good defence.

However that scrum gives me an ominous feeling.

[ACT Crusader]

Get stuffed, Gardner said use it and they didn’t. Should’ve been a turnover.

[Yeetyaah]

Boks lifter over the 5m line

[Duluth]

Clearing out way past the ruck there

Consecutive rucks they did it.

[Jailbreak7]

Akira taken out there

[Steve]

one of the Allblacks was tackled through the ruck and off the pitch about ten yards.

NZ were pinged for a lot less against the Irish.
