:It started with TJ, then a great pass from Bridge, awesome behind-the-back-pass from Weber (not forward), and great finish from TJ.
Oh sure, just pretend Rieko wasn't even there...
Bit disappointed Bridge couldn't beat his man too.
Rieko being on the field even dulls other left wings.
He's the Cooler.

Great offload from him and some other nice touches. He still looks to be lacking confidence though

:Just let them fall over then attack the ball fuck heads.
I'll say this again, these guys are falling. Let them but the ground
Jordie amazing 80 and 80 in 4 days. ALB and Ardie other top 3.
Jordie for canes 10

:Yeah, I'm not sure why you have to attack a player that's already half tackled. The swinging arm isn't good and not in that manner.
Attack? Fuck you're getting dangerously old woman about this high tackle thing.

It’s not even close this season
Best AB forward over 12 months: Savea
Best back: ALBI think it’ll be ALB, SBW and Crotty here on in. Goodhue chose the wrong moment to pull a hammy. This is probably the strongest 4 centres we’ve ever had.
5 points
Let in no tries
No injuries
No red cardsThat’ll do.
Namibia vs Canada should be fun.

Attack as in the way you attack the breakdown, attack the line. Go at.
But thanks for your great input.

At full speed that decision cannot be made, it's ridiculous to even suggest it

Until of course they don't and you just let a bloke straight through the defensive line.

Not that simple, Ofa was committed and had begun his "lunge" into the tackle. There's really not much he could have done to avoid neck contact there, other than not try to wrap his arms. However, if he did that, it would be a shoulder charge and he'd be looking at an even worse sanction. So, I guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Yep and as soon as they blow past they just get up and run again. If they're near the line you're just letting them score.

:Yeah, I'm not sure why you have to attack a player that's already half tackled. The swinging arm isn't good and not in that manner.
The issue is that you have to wrap the arms and grasp them in order to make a tackle. If he falls over, he's not tackled and he can get up and go again. Imagine it's close to the try line and an attacking player "falls over", you leave him alone and he gets up and goes again - you're probably going to concede a try.
So, you have wrap the arms to make a tackle and stop that guy getting up and going again. However, when he's falling, there's very little of the body that you can wrap your arms around. Even when you try to wrap safely - as someone said above, with a "vertical arm" - you're still likely to get some incidental contact on the neck or head. This is because there's not really any other safe way to make a "legal" tackle in those situations.

:honestly what do you do when an opposition is at knee level? Do you just stand down?
Analysis from ITV (Bloody good, BTW ) saying it was for a swinging arm.
And questioned what a player is supposed to do with his limbs when falling down
Just fall on your head, apparently. Can't use your arms to break your fall, because they might touch someone's neck or head.
But then you're at risk of doing a shoulder-charge, which is arguably a much worse offence. Again, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't

Wow sometimes you can't stop some one scoring a try. Well done to the attacking player. If the only way you can stop a try is kick a player in the head cos they're lunging on your outside, you don't do that. Same applies, don't swing your arm into their head, or shoulder. It's illegal. Works both ways, make sure you dive when you go for the line
