    Arguably not even a yellow. He's made sure he's not landed on his head or anything.

    Shouldn't even be banned. Such a shocking call by the IRB.

    Possibley a yellow but thats just because hes flipped him the wrong way of the horizontal and drove downwards. Regardless of if you fix it or not (which tbf he managed to do) its bad practise/bad example

    But ye its no where near getting a ban

    He doesnt drive him though. He might be turned but you need to trun them slightly in order to tackle them

    :laugh: What a load of shit. If a ref gave me a yellow for doing that I would shove my boot up his arse.

    Exactly. Seriously though that probably wouldn't even be given as a foul in my league.

    According to the letter of the law, I suppose it's a yellow, although the laws are wrong in that respect these days. I guess they were harsh because he's speared people in the past IIRC

    Compared to other spear tackles, that one was pretty safe. A one week suspension would have been too harsh.

    Classic tackle.

    Ioane is one baaad motherfucker though, refs were probably just scared.

    WTF.
    Touchie should be shot.

  20. Mike ML Martyn

    He didn't deserve much for that. Ioane supposedly has a pretty bad history so that probably had something to do with the length of the suspension.
