[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 517417, member: 38640"] Ugh, I don't know why I'm replying to this. Although it is funny that Mark Reason wrote this, a person known for being the biggest joke in sports journalism; and I can't help but draw conclusions about you that you seem to think there is weight to this. No. He's not a cheat in the sense that I've never seen him do a late tackle, throw a punch, eye gouge, spear tackle etc (although he's certainly had his fair share and more done to him). What he does do is what every number seven in the world ought to do and that is play to the referees interpretation of the breakdown laws (which is what that quote is from). David Pocock did it when he f*cked up South Africa as Henrich Brussow did it during the 2009 Lions tour. If you're not trying to slow down, disrupt and turnover opposition call than you're probably not a very good openside at any level. You can try and stir things up with inflamitory arguments if you like, but it comes off as bitter and pathetic. [/QUOTE]
