[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 952343, member: 50079"] Shame the Barrett thing is dominating a great win for Oz, but it's fair enough. For me it's a red at any speed. There was no best case scenario or legal outcome from that tackle attempt to my mind. He's hitting a falling player with his shoulder and no possibility to wrap his arms. If it hits the head or not it's illegal. I'm glad that this was blown up because no matter how innocuous it looks in real time, head injury doesn't have to look bad to be harmful. World Rugby have set their stall out in the Under 20 world cup even. No tolerance for contact to the head. Not saying Barrett was malicious or dirty, and it's unfortunate for him, but he has to be more careful. [/QUOTE]
