[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 971816, member: 40658"] So, before the Japan vs. SA game, I was a bit worried that our big guys will get pinged a lot for high tackles, purely because the japanese players are a lot shorter than most of our guys. But, it was interesting to see how our guys adopted the tried and tested method of tackling around the waist, and squatting prior to making the tackle. And in effect we dominated the collision nearly every time. But with that said, it also costed Beast a yellow card for a tip tackle, in which he clearly overpowered the runner but went through the horizontal. I'm not disagreeing with the yellow card at all, But man it must be hard to be a defender. Tackle too high, you can get a red card, grasscutter tackles are usually straight yellow cards, and if you go for the midriff, try not to tackle too hard, as you might flip the attacking player, go through the horizontal and get a red or yellow.
