Has Burger been cited?

[pete88]

I'd put money on Paul Williams getting a penalty, if not a yellow card, if he made exactly the same tackle.

Is it legal?? F**kd if I know.....lol

He'd be lucky not to get a red card for "striking" with the other arm.

Radike Samo - Dangerous tackle - No arms / shoulder charge on Bryan Habana.

James Horwill - Dangerous tackle - High tackle / choke on Willem Alberts

Dan Vickerman - (1.) Dangerous play - Charge on Heinrich Brussouw;
(2.) Dangerous play - Charge on Jannie du Plessis.

Anyone care to venture an 'unbiased' opinion on whether these players listed above should have been cited or not....

Not one eye gouge in that lot potiekos.

Both sides did the other stuff and I could make a list bigger than yours.

It's just the filth that South Africans have done a lot of that gets up our noses. Just a few of them from time to time, don't get me wrong.

Thank goodness we won so we can complain about it.

You can't see how it would be physically possible to put your left arm in a forward pointing position, whilst leading with your right shoulder with right arm at the side of your body making no attempt to wrap around?

And in the strictest interpretations of the law that would be a legal tackle, so long as the left arm was making an attempt to grasp the player. However a player actually executing this type of tackle would probably not be making an attempt to use the left arm to grasp the player, so as a ref I'd blow him up for it.

This is kind of irrelevant, if you go look for footage of this tackle, you'll notice that both arms are trying to wrap Habana up. And you actually can see in that photo that the right arm is wrapping around Habana's back.

I thought the clip that Querty provided was the worst incident by Burger. An eye gouge that went on and on and in back play. How the assistant missed it I'm buggered if I know. Burger has a problem that he needs to fix, or have the IRB fix it for him.

What do Touch Judges and Kepu have in common? Their both made of marshmallow

 

[pete88]

Lol what's with the Kepu hate? He's not amazing, sure, but still...

pete88, the other arm wrapping around Habana appears to be white. It may not belong to Samo.

I didn't think the Vickerman one on Brussow was deliberate. I thought Brussow copped a stray knee to the head after he'd fallen on the wrong side of the ruck. Maybe you could have an argument about the way Vickerman joins rucks but I really don't believe it was the case this time. (this is just going off what I remember from game day). I still reckon the main reason Brussow went off was he got hurt trying to tackle Pocock. He never looked right after that.

Fair point .... Well said.

Look closer. Above and below Habana's left bicep.

Why has Samo's right arm gone white ????

I see it now...

Swat, don't be racist.

fakedit: Actually I'm wrong, half of David Pocock's face is black, I didn't realise, black Zimbabwean great-great-great-great-grandmother.

I'm not trying to be racist. I just think it is farcical that so many people have commented on a tackle that wasn't blown up in the game and won't be looked at by the citing commission. The image is supposed to reflect the silliness of the conversation.

 

[pete88]

I was being 100% serious in my accusations of racism.

Yeah yeah, it's just not something i'd like thrown around with my name, even if it is tongue in cheek.

Heh, you trolll, I troll, we all troll together.

That's debatable

Fuck you, he'll be our next Bok captain. It works a treat with the Stormers, give him more responsability and he stays within the laws. Schalk knock down the Doep broers within 10 minutes from each other in the Newlands clash and took the wind out of their sails.

What an absolutely brilliant idea. Paarl's got a rifle you can see in his avatar. Maybe he can do the job for you.
