Fucking stupid from Ofa
Well-reffed, I though. Not much else Ofa could do there.
He's not in control, reckless and lucky.
If the player stays upright, it is just a good tackle. It depends whether you think Ofa has time to change.
No he doesn't, because he's not in control. He didn't give himself time to change, that's exactly it.
What time is he supposed to give himself when in the space of one step the attacker dives to ground?
Come on man, it's really simple. This day and age, you can't fly in uncontrolled hoping you get lucky with the hit. I don't have a problem with the outcome in this instance, but Ofa left himself no out if that went wrong.
"uncontrolled"? You are delusional if you think players can adapt within that timeframe other than by making completely passive tackles.

@KiwiMurph very poor option taking, taking the ball flat footed too
Not even looking like taking on the line. Stifles the attack.

@KiwiMurph totally agree regarding BB ,would rather see Sullivan starting at 10 ,looks far more assured
BB is a liability -
Man Sullivan is all class
-
Great line and drive by Zarn.
Needs more touches.
-
Was a nice touch from BB in that too

Adapt within the timeframe he gave himself when he went flying in? So if he can't adapt when he goes flying in out of control, the option might be to not go flying in our of control. Or hey keep doing it until it goes wrong.

Looks the goods that boy
Blues with a little more patience would be up by a thousand

Had to stop watching for a bit. Who'd Zarn replace?

So you're arguing for players to defend on their heels giving themselves all possible time to "adapt". Thanks for the soccer mum input.

Sullivan looking more like a player who’s been around for a decade as opposed to the fella who is a former international Rugby player of the year
