Thought the RC was harsh. Isi had the lock lined up to hit him around the midriff, but he, the lock, ducked into the tackle. YC at most imo.

Definite truck and trailer with Bell, I think, detaching in front of the maul and hindering a Rebels defender. Then the try was given a phase later when there was an obvious Tahs leg obstructing the defence. Should not have been awarded for either reason.

Rob Leota had a very impressive game. Best on ground I reckon.

Going out on a limb and guessing he meant -
12. Paisami (if the whiplash didn't sever the C3-C4 parts of his spine)
13. Perese
I'm good with that - Paisami is 12 though. He's our Nonu, we just need to find a Smith to complement him.

Yeah loved that bit - bit of reading between the lines but young often men make stupid decisions if they're not focused/have no sense of responsibilty.
Sounded a lot like he's found both again, and his form seems to mirror that.

As a neutral I thought it was a good game to watch, not something I’ve said often this season when the Tahs and Rebels are playing

Perese could definitely be that bloke.

These these are the mitigations.
Line of sight - clear so nothing here
• Sudden and significant drop or movement - yes the ball carrier reduced height but not suddenly and was not especially or unexpectedly low
• Clear attempt to change height - no corresponding adjustment by tackler
• Level of control - nothing here
• Upright - passive vs dynamic - tackler wasn’t passive and upright so no help here either
There is a little more wiggle room than the old guidelines but if you line up a big hit same onus to get it right remains.

Just finished this morning watching the game. I thought it was enjoyable game to watch. Rebels defence to me made the difference.
I agree there is at least signs of improvement. Perese and Foketi as centre combo continue to impress and in previous years was not a fan of Foketi but he has looked good this year.

I actually really enjoyed that game last night. It was pretty end to end stuff for the most part and some cracking tries scored too.
I like to watch

No, it just means they were evenly matched.
uni v woods was also a cracking match.
that doesn’t mean they can compete against teams in a better grade.

This was a disappointing performance by the Waratahs. After a couple of stronger performances this was really their chance to secure a win and they played well below that standard.
Gave up very soft tries to open the game and the discipline overall was poor.
When you're an average side you can't afford to be gifting so many points and expect to stay competitive.

Good post.
People need to stop suggesting that a ball carrier getting a bit lower as they brace for contact is a sudden drop in body height. It is a normal reduction of body height that every tackler has to expect.
The mitigating circumstance of a sudden drop in body height refers to a player slipping over or similar. It is not at all intended to provide an excuse for a high tackle because the tackler lined up a player who was running completely upright prior to entering the tackle.
