It's impossible to wrap your arms around someone when you hit them with that much force with your shoulder. Obviously he's going to go flying backwards
that was alright there was an attempt wrap him up he just bounced off his shoulder. Border line high maybe. Bergamasco looked to see if he'd been binned, he should be a footballer bloody cheat.
dunno who the 12 is but typical player from one of the islands, he showed up twice in the vid and not once did he attempt to make a tackle at all. Banahan gets really unlucky tho :/
What the FUCK is wrong with that?! If rugby keeps going in this direction I don't think I'm going to be able to watch it any more. Fucking referees who have never played the game and want it to have the same amount of contact as football make me sick.
I hate bergamasco hes a dirty player and he was acting there like a footballer. He has a sneaky look up to see banahan go of the pitch then puts his head down again., Im glad to see him get NAILED
and thats why Stuart Barnes is full of shit, such a verbose windbag. I've heard him say 'great hit' many times, hes' got bollocks where his tongue should be.
Excellent tackle........ Bananahan should be awarded not penalised, but referees are so clueless these days. What the fuck does dangerous tackling have to do with wrapping the arms?! Rugby league style shoulder charges can lead to very dangerous head clashes not this you twats!
Where the fuck do refs come from? They are puny little fags that were never good at rugby. I advocate that referees can only be people that played 1st grade or upwards.
there is no way in hell thats a yellow card.... that was just a fucking awesome tackle banahan clearly attempted to wrap his left arm around bergamasco.. its just that he clobbered him so hard bergamasco couldnt take it and flew himself backwards
Wow a yellow card for a tackle, what next red card for running with the ball? Give Banahan a break! He's something like 18 stone and 6"7! Its not going to be a light tackle! It was a big tackle and thats it.
Why was he sin binned? I don't see what's wrong with this. I know it technically adheres to the directive about No-Arms tackling, but players do this all the time and get away with it without even a penalty being conceded. Refereeing consistency please.....
he clearly ties to wrap his arm round, every intension off a good tackle..... and Bergamasco clearly lies down long enough to justify the card, cheating Italian
love the way they all tried to start on matt right after the tackle thinking some back just put in a illegal tackle, they looked like they wanted to go to town on him, that is untill he stood up and they realised what they would be dealing with!!! hehe
this is bullshit, they should remove the rule that you have to put your arms around the player, big hits should be rewarded not punished... they are pulling out too many cards for great tackles just look at poor James O'Connor who got a card for a perfect tackle...
@TheBruiser012 banahan is not a good choice, he's a novelty large back, but does not offer us anything new bar a run or two through the middle to shake up the defence. He was largely at fault for a lot of things going wrong in the England v Ireland game, though I know the team as a whole didn't turn up. He was shocking. Get rid!
@TheBruiser012 Tindall's in the team for experience in the backs and with Moody out, he's stepping up as captain. I agree he shouldn't start(At least) but thats my guess as to why he's in.
I personally think the England centre's need some work anyway.
Perfect tackle. Nothing wrong with that. It's just the case that Banahan is so tall that when he hits you with his shoulder it's around head height for most backs.
@markwgoodson just to let you know its illegal to tackle at head height regardless of the players in questions height, its the tacklers responsibility to make sure that the tackle is below the shoulders.
bergamasco is a pr*ck. he is always acting like a douche trying to get a reaction. always pushing and shoving and being argumentative. Then banahan goes and shows what he really is...a little B*tch
thought they were talking about the number 12 he was shoulder charging for sure but banahans tackle was clean as a whistle, there there buddy us polynesians always get pinned for that shit we know how u feel ;)
wtf was that, tell that monkey in his pretty pink jersey if he cant Handel a big hit to go and play soccer that where poofters play, rugby is a mans game
Thats how you make a tackle.. To drive in with the shoulder, wrap the arms and use your legs to push them back. If you weren't to use your shoulder, you'd either get hurt, or they'd get passed you.
Nothing wrong with that. What makes Bergo a pussy is that he has a little look up to see what's going on before the physio gives him the magic sponge. Straight out of the Bryan Habana book of behaving like you're a footballer when you're on a Rugby pitch.
Both hands stay on him at all time, no shoulder above his shoulders. Nothing wrong with it at all, and to be honest 12 done a blatant shoulder charge right before !
I find it difficult to believe he got carded for that - it was a perfectly legitimate and text-book "front shirting" tackle. The official is a disgrace.
Terrible decision, not a yellow, not a penalty either. Harpe on the other hand should have gone for tyhe shoulder barge with no arms into the ribs. The Banahan one was a good hard tackle and the referee over-reacted.
Bergo milked that like a footballer, see the little look to the physio in a hinda 'is the ref carding him' sort of way. Good strong tackle by Banahan, poor reffing, if anything Hape should have got a yellow for the shoulder 2 seconds before . . .
So Banahan gets a yellow for this, yet that cowardly cheat Bergamasco constantly gets away with late swinging arms when players have slid over the try line. i say he deserves this hit for a career of cheating.
i really think that banahan and shontayne hape should be the england centres cus they really need some attacking players and to have them would be the perfect way forward in my opinion
However living in France and watching a lot of Rugby, I do notice the French sides (not all of them) like to look for dives and blocks off the ball to get other players penalised - thats not rugby for me.
@ajm6665 don' t feel sorry for him man, this guy has done a lot of dangerous thing in rugby games, morevover he's just low because too slow to play this position. He should play 6 or 7 and see what he can do on guys like McCaw or Harinordoquy...
What a load of fucking bollocks, I'm a Brizzler so obviously no great lover of Barf but that was a perfect tackle and shouldn't be a yellow.
In fact, they should allow the use of the shoulder al-la rugby league, the IRB are destroying our game with their stupid rule changes + attempting to take the physicality out. There are far more injuries from SWINGING ARMS which are the result of lazy tackles from tiring players forced to try and wrap around. Anyone calling for them to be banned? Hell no!
@goatheif Good point! Im a 'Barf' man, my old man is a 'Brizzler' and he even agrees! We need Briz to be promoted back up, premiership is getting nice and full of westcountry teams!!
couldnt agree more that its a perfect tackle, but to allow the shoulder is a daft idea! all that will do is allow dirty tackles going in and then that example will filter down to amatuer leagues and there is already enough dirty crap that goes on there as the quality of refereeing at the lower levels is poor!
this is just bullshit ..whats the game turning into? we're seeing more and more players getting sin binned for just good, solid tackles...absolute bollocks, its not basketball for fucks sake!
This is what i hate is that they dont penalise hape when he is shoulder charging and just because it is a strong tackle from a big guy then suddenly he has to be sent off it has happened so many times when a player has made a big tackle which is perfectly legal and got sent off for it.

banahan hit high but it was a tackle the one who should get the yellow card is the one who hits Parisse (i think) or whoever got tackled right before bergamasco at 1:001:01

That tackle was fine, nothing wrong. Yellow card for that?
Henry Tuilagi got nothing for the hit on Foden..... its crazy.

Bergamasco is behaving like a big girly footballer here, textbook tackle from Banahan and he's straight down for the ball too.

banahan hit high but it was a tackle the one who should get the yellow card is the one who hits Parisse (i think) or whoever got tackled right before bergamasco at 1:00 1:01
