But this time it was just too much: player welfare must be always first priority in a game as brutal as rugby. Alesana Tuilagi straight red card for high tackle on Jean de Villiers | RugbyDump - Rugby News & Videos Not as dangerous as Horwill's filth, plus he did it in the open instead of sneakily risking a man's eyes but putting 18 stone through his studs into his face. Sonny Bill Williams red card . Matt, "a little high"? Published on July 28, 2015 | Leave a response. Shoulder charge: the islander nations constantly get away with shoulder charges because they put their arm out like that, with no intention of ever wrapping.

Tuilagi is a thug who is know for hits like this and a pitiful handshake afterwords just doesn't cut it. Took it like an absolute champ. Higher and it wouldn't be illegal.

.

And Jamalama, have you ever really watched him play? They generally seem to play really hard, but leave everything on the pitch, with no bitching and moaning afterwards. I think the red is fair enough as it was high and a shoulder charge, but I don't agree that it was late. No "card waving" to promote a punishment there. That is what the rules are designed to do, and it is exactly what Tuilagi has done. I sort of agree with both of you in principle, but I do think Tuilagi was in there legally if JDV caught the ball, and by the time he didn't it was too late. See how Tuilagi's head goes down before the ball even arrives to JDV.
You see the thing with JDV is that he spent two seasons down in Munster where I'm sure the likes of Gaillimh, Foley and POC would have put manners on him To be honest, with balls that big, it's amazing he's still able to run around the pitch. I'm not defending this tackle particularly, but people keep laying into tackles because they 'made no attempt to wrap', and it is just not that simple, admittedly the rules do imply that you should do more than Tuilagi did to make a tackle 'safe', but just stating that someone didnt wrap their arms does not make it illegal. Amazing stuff by De Villiers.

I guess they really cant be too surprised with the Boks winning they did pay for everything for this tournament.

Are you suggesting that runners should go in totally upright? Coaches should play this clip to youngsters just for that. Posted in BIG HITS, Test Rugby, VIDEO.

I wouldnt put him in my grandsons under 12's team. You can see the reaction from Tuilagi he doesn't think it's a big deal plays right on, doesn't even look at De Villiers. Ironically, 6 inches lower would have been 6 inches closer to the sternum, a legal tackle and JDV wouldn't be smiling and would possibly not have continued. Let the ref sort it out. Soccer players could learn something too!
I hear the "committed" vs not committed argument way too much to defend a guy throwing an illegal hit. Play hard and within the rules and it can be to your advantage.

The tackle is undoubtedly high, but I don't think it's late as Tuilagi is already launching forwards by the time the ball leaves DV, and if it had been lower it would have been a straight shot to the body with an outstretched arm, which is totally legal, it wasn't even swinging.

Indeed very nice reaction from Jean De Villiers, but I think Alesana Tuilagui is not fully commited in the tackled as he saw the ball bounce off. Did anyone else notice that the television match official Deon van Blommestein was South African, Tuilagi had not chance at all. But I could also forgive this because he has a reputation as a dangerous tackler and therefore should be punished more harshly than someone who has made a one off mistake. It stays down whilst JDV has bobbled, it and says down when. What are you saying Matt, that a straight arm is legal? Apart from this though I thought Strauss' reaction to the ball pinching incident was hilarious him flailing around and 15 running away haha RUGBYDUMP put that up in the funnies! Good referees pick it up for what it is, and that was definitely a shoulder charge as his arm stayed completely straight throughout. Surely the refs could simplify things - high tackle = yellow, always. As for the hit, i think a red was harsh a yellow would have been more appropriate.
