2014 6 Nations: France vs Ireland (Round 5)

With his bloody luck he will probably not even be cited......yes, it was a red....he aimed his head at Picamoles, there were no arms involved, he intended to hit and hurt! In an off pitch situation he would be charged with GBH...................and he has form!

I think he anticipated and wanted to target the ball, not the guy. He did hurt Picamoles, but I think it was unwillingly.
 
Bastereau has lost it for France......he has seen Sexton off!!

This argument is incredibly stupid. Basically everything that happens on a rugby pitch could get you charged with assault.

It was in from the side and off the feet but I think the intention was more to get a turnover than injure someone.
 
It had a bad outcome but your head does kind of jut out a bit so it can be hard to not lead with it...

Anyways, when was the last time McFadden played 12? Madigan at 10 for the last 12, well this will be hard watching.
I dunno. 99% of the other players seem to manage.

Not really, most rucks just don't have head on head collissions. One of the common techniques for clearing out a poacher is to stick your head into their chest. It incolves leading with the head an it happens all the time.

Must be terrible to watch this game with one eye shut....................you are missing a great game!

By inference if the argument is stupid....one of side or the other must be stupid to perpetuate it and it ain't me my friend!
 
That's the second time Pape has done that this tournament.

Woeful skills from a professional.

Hilarious. So you don't think rugby tackling someone in normal life are any type of clearout wouldn't see you getting charged.

That path of argument in regards rugby no matter who uses it are which incident you use it. If I tried to use it for 2005 I'd be stupid.
