@Rapido this discussion probably need to be moved off this thread because its not about the game, but rather about the laws but...
I don't see this wrap by the left arm that you are referring to. What see there is just a body check with Marika charging through the contact
joke, but open your other eye
Seriously, though, thsi kind of incident gets everyone polarised. Honestly, was just a great tackle, and enough of a wrap to get awy with it. Wrapping with your head on the wrong side is difficult.
But, this is modern rugby. Frame by frame analysis of a monster collision to save a try.
Was a brilliant tackle, he came from another city to make it too.

@MiketheSnow maybe he should have ruck him properly like in the old days.

What a strange game. It’s almost as if the boks have some sort of mental block, and give the Australians too much respect. If the bokke can’t win this weekend, I have very serious doubts about nienabers nous as a coach. Damn it!
Interesting stat about Boks winning rate without Rassie on the sideline, 36%

Wow this is the gift that keeps on giving.
Former Test referee Freek Burger has highlighted the inconsistent calls from New Zealand referee Paul Williams following the Springboks’ loss to the Wallabies in Adelaide.
In an interview with Sunday newspaper Rapport, Burger said that Wallabies wing Marika Koroibete should have been sent off for his try-saving tackle on opposite number Makazole Mapimpi.
“In my opinion there were no arms. Here we are talking about a red card, about a penalty try,” Burger told Rapport.Uh... yeah Freek - let's put the bottle down and have a little rest, eh?
That Wobbly tackle technique gives new meaning to going for the ball?!

Marx can be a handful....
😳

@NTA in that situation there are I think 3 kinds of rugby players, those who immediately let go of Marx’s nuts, those who let go after Marx goes to ground, and those who keep squeezing even after Marx hits the deck.
Reckon most loosies fall in category 2/3. Marx himself sure as hell ain’t a category 1 guy.

Some good debate here. Boks antithesis of ABs.
It's so basic
These boys need to work on the hip flexibility

When loosing the ball in the tackle takes on a painful new dimension..

@nostrildamus there’s only one ball and we want it - Pinetree, probably.
