Hooper Out!

First topic message reminder :

Hooper was out and out the best flanker of the 3rd round of games. Its just amazing that before the game we all know what he's going to do yet in the storm of battle most of us are unable to defeat this fella. A remarkable talent

You know the more I see the Tuilagi incident the more angry I get at the decision. It is absolutely appalling to give him an eight match reduced to five match ban for a perfectly normal rugby play!!!!

Decisions like this will see the sport become a soft a$$ version of the one we like. It will also see the end of the big players who can go over the top of people with their power.

Agree 100%. I don't see anything wrong with how Tuilagi went into the tackle.  Tuilagi is not a nuble runner.  He is powerful and runs straight ahead,  And he did exactly as coaches would want:  pump your legs and drive through the tackle.  Incrediblly bad sanction.
