Google it - the first one was on Dan Palmer when the Reds played the Brumbies and the 2nd was when they played the Force. Horwill received an 'off-field yellow card' for a stomp on Cowan. The fact that he may not have been able to see where AWJ's head was really doesn't matter. He knew there...

It's far more clear cut. You can actually see Horwill 's foot connect with his head for a start. If Horwill hadn't done the same thing to two other players this year, I would probably be on his side but repeated acts like this simply should not go unpunished.

Oh.....I don't know about that - I'm no lawyer :) Look, I'm not really too fussed if he gets off or not at this stage, I just don't have a big issue with what the IRB have done here as others do. I can see why they have done it and I don't compare it to what happens in criminal courts as we're...

Yep.....video footage is usually pretty compelling so I don't know where Hampton went wrong?! Must be from Canterbury.....lol

You wouldn't look to have AWJ suspended for putting Horwill in a dangerous position where he could have seriously twisted, sprained or maybe broken his ankle via the facial contact to Horwill's boot? I'm sure there's a Law somewhere that would back it up......

I didn't LOL but I defintely QCALOTI'd (quietly chuckled and laughed on the inside) :D

If someone had been caught 3 times on camera assaulting other people and the High Court let him off, I would want someone taking action to rectify that mistake. In saying that, this is sport - it's not anywhere near as important as how we run our society so the analogy for me doesn't really...

Right - so now you just want to make up rules. Where does it say in the Laws that you quoted that Folau must be in 'control'? By the way, you also said: Well, actually it does. The Laws you quote state: and Just in case you're unsure, tackles are made by the person who doesn't have the...

Why does a man dying correlate into a min silence?

I think you should actually read the Law: "Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player’s feet are still off the ground such that the player’s head and/or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play." The first...

You gotta be kidding.......

There really aren't a lot of games where the ABs absolutely smash someone off the park. In fact, this doesn't happen a lot for any top level Tests.

Sorry...I wasn't clear there. No- you didn't say that, someone else did but that's what got me started on this. :)

Maybe, maybe not. I thought he carried the ball strongly all game - which may not have always been the right option but IMO he carried the ball up well. To be honest, I don't care. My point was that it's just not true to say that O'Conner has an inability to draw and pass when this is what...

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was great. No-one has said otherwise. It's not like someone has said something like 'AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) never runs good line and can't finish'. It almost like you want to give every other Wallaby on the paddock credit except O'Conner who was the one who created that space and gave the pass for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to...

What your pic doesn't show is how close to the try line AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is by the time Davies is lucky to get his hands on him. If you watch the video, he's about 2 metres out - he basically falls over and gets the try. Inside Shoulder - you're 100% correct in saying that he didn't trust Sexton BOD to...

Shiiiiiiit......are you kidding me? I'm not one to put something like this on here but you have no fucking clue about rugby if you don't think that O'Conner drew Davies. Davies didn't fall off AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)....he was lucky to even get his hands on him. This is just bloody ridiculous........watch the...

Did you see the only try that was scored in last night's game?!?

The IRB appointed officer was wrong. Good on the IRB for taking steps to correct that mistake.

Scoey, Thompson was sentenced under the same system - the IRB's own system - but the IRB still intervened to change the end result. As per your own comment, this also undermines and diminishes the system. End of the day, Horwill should have been suspended. He's a repeat offender and he's yet...
