Digby Ioane spear tackle on Casey Laulala

[TheLomu94]

if this was reffed in the northern hemisphere that would have been a red, the disparity between what goes and what doesn't really needs to be sorted out in both halfs of the rugby world

[rhinosmot]

@TheLomu94 totally agree

[IxTeejxI]

If you lift them up like he did, but them put them down on your back and ruck over is it a foul? This rule confuses me :L

[DickHead69able]

@IxTeejxI no

[THEPROPNUMBA3]

fucking Australian rugby, turning into soccer!!

[Unevaluated]

This is why the IRB's ruling on tackling is ridiculous. According to their ruling Warburton's in the world cup was a red, because he dropped the player, even though it was soft and onto his back. Also according to their ruling, this ISN'T a red, because he didn't drop or drive him into the ground, even though he could have snapped his fucking neck, sort it out IRB, it should go back to being Landing on head = spear, Landing on back = dump

[muppetman666]

@Unevaluated you realise the rules were tightened in 2009 after this happened (not because of this) with the current rules this would be red and a category 1 not 2 like warburtons

[TheJOJAN90]

"red or yellow?" just give him a pink! hahahahahaha

[mihneadds]

something the france-wales semifinal ref should see

[muppetman666]

@mihneadds why the rules have been tightened since this happened

[zoikles1]

The tackle was clean. This ref is bullshit.

[cm999]

@zoikles1 Are you for real? A clean tackle? You do realise he could of broken the guys neck? It was a clear spear tackle. Check the rules.

[MGoose66]

@zoikles1 You need to read/learn the laws! Dangerous, deliberate and illegal. In 2011 it would have been a red.

[TheBradleeMH]

nout wrong with that, good tackle

[FJ67CIWA]

would've been a sure try if the winger stayed on the outside.

P.S. i miss these reds jerseys

[FedABCxp]

cool chairs

[diiirtygoal]

why was that yellow when the Welsh tackle was a red?!

[hitskin666]

@diiirtygoal the ref overreacted with that one, should have been a yellow for sure...

[Rinrince]

@diiirtygoal Check Florian Fritz's red for a much less dangerous tackle against London Wasps. I don't remember any British bragging about this one. The ref was also Roland, he always gives reds for this, the players know it and Warburton knew it.

[diiirtygoal]

@Rinrince chill out

[M374EVL]

this was worse than sam warburtons tackle at the rwc 2011 and yet the player gets a yellow these fucking refs and the irb need to pin down what is a yellow card offence and a red ALAIN ROLLAND IS A CUNT

[muzin07]

why did Caleb Ralph cut??lol

[tnobe3]

That rumbling music at the start added SO much effect to the scrum, awesome if it were live

[lancecassidy16]

its funny how digby ioane isnt aussie at all



[coolguyjames99]

@lancecassidy16 Hes been living in Aussie since he was two, I don't know about you but I cant remember the 1st 2 years of my life. Id say hes pretty much an Australian mate.

[bigpereiha]

fukn dirty auzzie cunts

[mrcalarsenal]

Definitely a red for me - once you lift a player off the ground you have a responsibility to take them to ground safely too.

That was down right dangerous and could have resulted in serious injury.

[ShellShock34]

made piss



[SamoaMoSamoa537]

Nah Sky Sport NZ commentators are by far the most biased..

[RepharaseJC]

@SamoaMoSamoa537 Agreed I like the Australian commentators they compliment so many of the players . Nz Commentators hardly hear them doing that , always sucking Nz players balls all the time .

[SamoaMoSamoa537]

@RepharaseJC Yeh Aussie and Saffer commentators you will actually hear neutral commentary, Justin Marshall isn't that bad though,

[RepharaseJC]

@SamoaMoSamoa537 Justin Marshall is the man , I enjoy his comments he speaks from experience and all round truth .

[RepharaseJC]

@SamoaMoSamoa537 Justin Marshall is the man enjoy his comments fair and comes from experience and all round truth . But yeah I think that Australia have the better comments , way more funnier !

[SDLRob]

Was this before or after the rules were clarified & spear tackles were made a straight red?

[Kalksteinn]

i've seen players getting red cards for less then that

[SAMRIPPS]

@KurtCummings5878 fuck u

[MrSubisushi]

@Lollenberries oi fuck up cunt. You don't know fucking shit, my uncle is Rod Davies so you fucking shut your mouth dickhead

[deadfncat]

i had 50 bucks on this game and the reds were paying $8 and we lost in the last minute if i remember correctly :(

[KlonoaPSX]

sean maitland

[Lolenberries]

australian commentators are nothing but biased cunts.

[imogen124]

Ref...bloody muppet...should have been red no doubt.

[giavirtae]

fuck these aussie commentaters are one eyed muppets

[wdtwilliams]

@giavirtae what are you talking about? they clearly were saying it was a dangerous tackle...

[jamtheman3017]

@giavirtae they said he was lucky to get away with a red?

[doogiedog1234]

@giavirtae they should have commentators fromother countries doing the commentry.. IM australian and it pisses me off listurning to how biased they are... nz are just as biased tho..

[sxemurray]

@giavirtae That was the most stereotypical British comment i've ever seen

[qwerty158]

@giavirtae in what way are these aussies one eyed? they didnt say anything here to make the tackle seem less bad than it actually was or anything like that.

[giavirtae]

@qwerty158 so the comments " I wouldnt say he's driven him into the ground " and " I dont think he drove him " isnt one eyed you fucken dick-shit .

[qwerty158]

@giavirtae that was right at the start before they watched the replay. you must not have seen the whole video because even the commentators said it was dangerous and that he got off light with a yellow card, you degenerate. so no not one eyed at all. what the fuck is a dick shit anyway? haha have a look around for some new insults dude

[foxinshocks]

@giavirtae What the entire fucking video you gronk. They end up saying he got off easy, it hadn't been clear until the replay for them you ignorant prick.

[SupriseBIOTCH]

@giavirtae they are WAAAAYYYY better than the NZ or SA commentators. At least they attempt to be interesting and not bias.

[Marz2605]

@giavirtae what do you mean? they said he was lucky to get away with just a yellow card, they also called the tackle dangerous and reckless.

[lualuaz22]

hahaha dus he khow casey is his cousin hahahaha no family in rugby ay digby.lol

[Proud2BeAussie21]

Haha ioane's face when he thought he was getting a red

[44redman1]

wasnt even that bad

[RLuke09]

@44redman1

Spear tackle's a spear tackle, legs went higher than horizontal

[adammmr]

@44redman1 wasnt even that bad.. he dumped him on his head/neck. let somebody do that you at this calibur and see if it's bad.

[44redman1]

@adammmr iv seen worse, check out sivivtu flip tackle. and i could take a spear better then that girl laulala!

[Lolenberries]

@44redman1 fucken grow up mate.. your not big

[44redman1]

@Lolenberries woah mate have a cry why dont you
