[QUOTE="All Black, post: 916458, member: 77286"] It's mainly based on what we've seen and heard from the news, commentators and players that I have known to go over and player over there. The players all come back saying the same thing - it's not as physical over in the north than it is in the south. They dont go for hits as often as they do here. Look at this video of something we see from time to time here in NZ and is not a penalty here but in the north, it seems illegal. We've got heaps of Samoan players and you should know that Samoans or Polynesians are known for their big hits. We praise tackles like this whilst you guys seem to quickly call for a red card. Listen to the commentary and read the comments just so you know its not just me on this... [MEDIA=youtube]d6_H0y9w0mY[/MEDIA] Back to the Sam Cane tackle on the Irish guy - referee Jaco Peyper saw it as an accident and nothing really out of the ordinary as tackles are very physical here in the south, but in the north everyone saw it as a red. Canes tackle really brought out the red card IMO because the tight laws followed after that tackle. This line doesnt state that but for what its worth...
