I’m not against penalising people for “spear tackles” but this is getting ridiculous. At worst that tackle was a penalty. All we are going to see now is people rolling in tackles and lifting their legs so that it looks like a spear tackle and the tackler gets sent.

There was nothing in that tackle, he landed on his shoulder.

Rugby has become an absolute joke, there is no way this tackle was worse then the one on SBW last weekend and that wasn’t too bad either. Sometimes if you squirm and carry on in contact you are going to be dropped.

Size is relative of course. Frik du Preez would be too small for a lock nowadays.

Its crazy that hooper, neil back, brussow & pocock etc are regarded as small flanks
Guess the future belongs to strength freaks like jerome kaino

In mitigation of sentence, after all hooper at 97kg 182cm lifted vito 112kg 192cm off the ground. Consider that the average adult cannot perform just one sit-up
