[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 930910, member: 53057"] Don't pretend if someone did it near a Curry brother you wouldn't be advocating capital punishment... But yes, given how rugby has been reffed at all levels over the last year or two the only reason it wasn't at least a penalty and a talking to is that it wasn't seen. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but doing what is essentially a no arms tackle in a ruck has been penalised quite often whether I personally agree with it or not. If I was his coach I'd be pretty annoyed with Tuilagi (even if he has a lot of credit in the bank for a lot other things he did) he took himself out of the defensive line and risked sanction for basically no chance of a turnover. At best we'd have had sloppy ball and it was already a slow ruck. Edit: Tadhg Furlong got a yellow for not attempting to wrap in the last game against Munster as a recent example. Which admittedly is a Pro 14 game but still managed a degree of physicality. [/QUOTE]
