[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 952335, member: 40658"] True. Hooper had no obligation to be of a certain height or position when the tackle attempt was made on him. The onus was purely on Barrett. But what I was aiming at is that the taller guys will always be at a negative position when tackling shorter/falling/lower ball-carriers. So they have to take extra precautions when attempting the tackles. That's also why many countries don't use the term manslaughter and rather use negligent homicide for the same offence. But also the definition of manslaughter isn't solely focused on intent, but also looks at omission or negligence. To use Ncurd's analogy of the gun and disabling. That will also not fly well in SA. As seen in the Oscar Pistorius trial. The purpose of a gun is to kill. The purpose of a stun-gun is to disable. Nonetheless, Barretts negligence and recklessness is the common denominator here, and everyone agrees that he should be sanctioned. And is now only the 4th All Black to ever be sent off. [/QUOTE]
