@Kiwiwomble said in Rugby World Cup news:
i honestly dont get how things work, actual direct contact to the head gets less than a dangerous tackle that resulted in the head hitting the ground after shoulder contact etc
I actually think Kiwi whatever we think of cases, without being stupid ,the end result could well of been Farrell knocked his fella out. Moala's could of ended up in wheelchair with a broken neck.
I admit to being real leery of broken necks having being on a sideline when a young fella broke his neck (not from tackle), the a year later a young fella I had coached at times as a kid, and a mate of son (platyed in a couple of teams with him) also ended up in a wheelchair in a dangerous tackle in a league game (he was only 20) , and also had a situation where own son had a suspected broken neck in a college game, (scaredest I ever been in my life in the ambulance on way to hospital.
Only explained that in why I think tip tackles are so bad, in no way playing down on risk of brain injuies etc, and agree high shots also have to be jumped on!! -

And I should clarify , he retired from international Rugby in May so he wasn’t going to play in the RWC.
Biaritz should have been his pension
Fucking idiot

Am I missing a joke or do some people not know how to spell Pumas?
As Canes said I hit O instead of P when saying how I thought things were strom in a teacup...
I am sure the replies were just made in ouma.

Have I missed the outcome of Vunipolas hearing or hasn’t it happened yet?
You missed it, 3 games -1 for school
Getting a reduction for heading to tackle school is ridiculous

@canefan especially as Farrel clearly failed...

They are professional athletes. They should already know how to tackle. Don't incentivise going to school by reducing the punishment. Their incentive should be to learn how to not do it again so it doesn't cost them caps or money from missing games

These short guys really need to stop thinking they can get taller, just accept your height, much like I accept being fat and bald.
