That didn't look right. If the defending team has to release a tackled player the attacking team shouldn't then be able to drive them forward.
They’ve come in to support their man, they’re not obliged to let him go like the tacklers are
If Sotutu's knees are on the ground (a tackle) he shouldn't be able get up again.
Agreed. He can be driven forward, but if he gets to his feet he must release the ball first.

@Bones Choat has been good
Really like Choat as a player - maybe too small for next level?
Tom Christie is playing some good rugby as well.

Shit was that an aggressive tackle from Choat without going flying in out of control or staying back on his heels? I thought there was only the two extremes.
Because the player he smashed was high rather than diving. Great effort trying to pretend they're analogous.

Tom Christie offers nothing ball in hand.
He is not bad I think - strong on his feet, better hands than Cane. Reminds me of Richie McCaw. Best over the ball in NZ.

Choat is such a strong defender, often the Blues go-to man when they need to lift their efforts on D

He has great energy, players like him lift those around him.

Ignoring the point again, you do you bud. Let me know when you've decided which out of the two extremes he was doing. Because like you said, you can only fly in or be back on your heels right?

I guess you think you have a point if you imagine a different take on what actually happened. Choat, like Ofa,, was coming forward to tackle a player. Both aimed low. The difference is HJH dived to ground, while Botha stayed upright.

😂 The difference is Ofa came flying in out of control, to the extent that he went soaring over the player he was trying to tackle. I'm the one being called a delusional soccer mum, because apparently you have to be a dick name caller instead of discussing, yet you think Ofa and Choat approached their tackles in the same way. Yeah good one.

Zarn is such a good fullback. Low error rate, huge boot and picks great lines. Obviously he’s useful coming into first receiver too.
I think his game is more suited to Test rugby than some of the other fullback options who seem more like wingers at the higher level

You're making the classical error of determining fault from the outcome and imagining events rather than what actually happened. "flying in out of control" from a prop after three steps out of the defensive line
, when in the last step the attacker dives to ground.But you do you bud.
