At Old Trafford for the Argentina 'away' test they certainly weren't. I should know, I was there.

Shoulder charge
Very nice, but well over 12 months ago. Anything to show signs of form recently?and this
Hit on Donguy/Medard[/b]
2 man tackle while JSD was off balance from recovering a sloppy offload-pass. And forgetting JSD making him look like a fool for the rest of the match.and this
hit on Simpson-Daniel[/b]
Another late shoulder-charge with no attempt to wrap the arms.and this
hit on Russell[/b]
(actually links to the Argentina try) Any winger could do that. The genius came from Armitidges chip on and the Hipkiss/Cueto combination setting him up.and this
hit on Alex Goode[/b]
His try isn't even on that video (only Foden, JTH and Mays on show). Anyway, he wasn't particularly good in that game.
Performing awesome in the GP and scored 3 tries in three games for England,[/b]
what else do you want?[/b]
How can I put this...

However, there were some negatives:
- We seemed only to have two moves;
1. Miss Geraghty and give to Hipkiss to crash up the middle.
2. Give to Geraghty and let him pop it inside for a lumpy forward to run on to.[/b]
Therein lies Englands problem; Playing the 1st & 2nd 5/8 style with the creative and straight man (akin to Spencer and Carter for the ABs a few years back), only doing it backwards and shoehorning the creative maverick at 12 while putting Sir. Bootsalot in the playmakers shirt. Combine that with a gameplan without any flexibility or inventiveness (for that matter, without any balls) and it's easy to see whats wrong.[/b]

Shoulder charge
What a load of f***ing ********, I'm a Brizzler so obviously no great lover of Barf but that was a perfect tackle and shouldn't be a yellow.
In fact, they should allow the use of the shoulder al-la rugby league, the IRB are destroying our game with their stupid rule changes + attempting to take the physicality out. There are far more injuries from SWINGING ARMS which are the result of lazy tackles from tiring players forced to try and wrap around. Anyone calling for them to be banned? Hell no![/b]
Whatever. Shoulder charges aren't, nor ever have been, permitted within the laws of the game.
The rest of your point ain't a point.
Especially quoting Tana Umaga.[/b]
Ashley-Cooper is the best fullback in Australia and this should be his position from now on.[/b]
So they don't tackle in RL? Basically your argument consists of no actual substance or evidence. Typical whiny stuff that's killing RU at the moment. Is a tackle leading with the shoulder dangerous? Not really (not at all in the context of rugby), it's less dangerous than wrap-around tackles and both are definitely safer than the srum/ruck area... why aren't you crying for mandatory uncontested scrums?If they're not leading with the arm, they're not going for a tackle.[/b]
:huh:
What planet are you on?[/b]
