Mark Cueto and Matt Banahan hits on Berrick Barnes

[DaveGrohled]

first tackle i can understand for a ban, but banahan's tackle?!

[coxy0n360]

Berrick Barnes didn't have a good day then?

[TheJameshannaford]

well the decision on the banahan tackle was ridiculous, are we fucking poofs or men???

[LeagueUnionSevens]

Team in the green?

[RugbyLOLs]

@LeagueUnionSevens australian barbarians.

[doogiedog1234]

Berrick is a sook .. but a good palyer

[CssAfc]

Banahan tackled horinzontally and Barnes went up because he was resisting the takedown it wasn't a fucking dump tackle.

[1988darcy]

barnes needs to man the f**k up they were perfect tackles giteau for him i hope you know what your doing deans

[maliceren11]

0:10 "mommy..thats him..right there..he hit me"

[ejr161]

There is no finer site in the sport of rugby than a weeping australian.

[kaino1990]

@ejr161 couldnt agree more! Quade cooper complaining is a thought that comes to my mind

[Talbot6832]

@ejr161 He really was whinging like a spoilt 9 year old. Can't take an Englishman utterly destroying him.

[RoyalRumble27]

0:18 sick tackle!

[TP1988]

I wish England were either organised or savvy enough to have targeted Barnes intentionally.

[007hor]

Soft cunts got a scrum hat on, whats the fuss?

[J2705]

Fucking pussies nothig wrong with either of those hits! Soon u will only be able to tackle around the ankles its a joke!

[iReNto]

wat was wrong with the second one? im aussie as well

[coventry301]

or at 0:09 crying australian

[coventry301]

0:10 crying australian

[vegatablesouptom]

Gotta feel for banahan he keeps getting cited for basically being a huge guy which makes everything look worse than it is :/

[DbKillFeed]

barnes got back up right away ... but the other 1 was great he was down

[mymummy12321]

that is outrageous. those tackles were perect?

[HansdaMan73]

banahans tackle was bad because he slammed player into the ground after he had offloaded the ball.

[utuberlol]

MAN THE HELL UP!

[calrugbyfan]

if anything i'd say banahan's tackle was the perfect tackling technique

[Flankermatty94]

they were both fine. one was late but was in at full tilt, was not gna stop, banahans was fine he didnt even go anywhere near his neck and landed on his back. officials are too damn harsh on these big hits... ITS A CONTACT SPORT

[Grazio11]

@Flankermatty94 the laws state that a both arms have to wrap the player in a tackle. The first did not. It was a body charge, which is illegal. The second tackle was fine I thought.

[kikibooooo]

@Grazio11 Nowhere in the IRB rule book of the game of rugby does it state that a player must wrap both arms.

[thom10109]

0:10 is the exact reason why his nickname is Sookface

[kmotch]

Seen a lot worse

[ttr15]

err cuetos is worse than banahans!

[SayWeAreGoingUp]

barnes whinging like a 14 year old on the rag.lol

[pervyboy69]

whinging ozzie!! boo hoo.......

[Hoizokimaru]

Barnes crying like a baby.

[bidefordrfc]

Lol...poor barnes..

Im totally against spear tackles and any essence of spear tackles and i am perfectly fine with a card/citing....but banahans tackle left it looking like barnes landed on the flat of his back...

[mmmbilly]

berrik barnes is a pussy - looked like he was about to cry when cueto hit him...

[tmolo7]

didnt think these were illegal

[mdmmikey]

mark cueto, number 4? :S

[schnozz87]

@mdmmikey Probably 14 dude!

[schnozz87]

@mdmmikey Oh right, I take it back. My bad.

[cubandaddy1000]

dry your eyes Barnes and get on with it



[kaino1990]

ouch banahans hit would of hurt, 18 stone falling like that would hurt anyone! definantly not dirty though fair go

[Qwertyrulez4eva]

Banahan's hit was perfectly fine. It's a shame some rugby players act like footballers. He's known for hard hits but he gets sent off alot for decent tackles... Banahan is the best!!!!! :)

[joedale11]

Aussie Pussies, learn how to take a hit you maggots!

[joeyboyjoeba]

Banahans was a great tackle

[reubend13]

oh my he needs to learn how to take a hit..

[bikercreep]

But sorry whats wrong with those tackles?

at this rate rugby will turn into football ...

[ZEFOROUS]

Some of the suspensions dealt out this season were ridiculous.

The game will turn to S#@T if this is kept up.

[michaelogwat]

@0:10 barnes is crying :D

[whessly]

barnes is a greedy bastard, in the first effort pocock was open and the second beale was unmarked.

[Cletusville]

geez Beale was dirty Barnes didn't give him the pill in that BaaBaas game

[whessly]

@Cletusville so was pocock in the first play.

[jdp2606]

disgraceful refereeing. disgraceful panel decision on Banahan.

Our rugby players are being treated like footballers.

[mollers92]

i'm just going to watch league if they start citing and banning everyone for good hits.

[Raefe01]

@mollers92 he tackled without his arms and he tackled at neck height so they weren't good hits actaully..

[sph34]

Barnes is such a wine bag tart,

[ttr15]

nothing wrong with either of them

[ahmadkhairul]

WHAT NOW THE RULES STATES WE CANT DO TACKLES LIKE THAT? PFFT!!!

[ToughyIRE]

ok first tackle is a tad late, the second though i can't see any fault, he lefts him and lands him on his back not head first. two poor bans imo, wtf is with rugby killing off the dumbtackle!!

[bidefordrfc]

@ToughyIRE

the first i assume was due to no usage of arms, and therefore 'shoulder charging'.....

if anything the first should have been a ban not the second....

[SergeInho]

they becoming pussyer match by match, that was a fuckin regular tackle! it's was just perfect, why do they have to penalise the best tacklers?

[famousfamos]

ouch is all i can say
