SANZAR - what is the rule regarding the shoulder charge

[Hawko]

Kaplan still hates the Tahs even when they're in national colours.

Kaplan has a very special place in his heart for Elsom; remember the card for the Waugh/Elsom tackle a couple of years ago against the Crusaders (I think)?

 

[Lindommer]

That video with Palu, his shoulder hit the Irish guy fair on the head before the arms came into play.

Bullshit. Palu's right arm was around Kearney's back when the tackle was made and his left arm was on Rob's elbow/upper arm. Typical grandstanding from Kaplan while his adjudication in rugby matters was deficient.

If Palu had hit Kearney in the head with his shoulder, Kearney wouldn't have got up. It was a massive collision.

The replays showed that Palu's tackle was fine, and even the UK commentators agreed.......
