He's gone in full belt to stop the try (as he should) gets there and suddenly North's head is waist level. I tell you, if he goes with his arm in a full tackle, that'd be a heck of a lot worse, because he'd have basically clothes-lined him, which would have snapped his neck back. Sometimes heads hit hard things. Just now, andrewluke said: i didn't see anything special from England Typical Wales then. Doesn't need anything special to beat them.

I thought Slade had a great game, and England defended brilliantly. I don't know why England kick high against Wales you always get punished on the return because they are so good at the back three. Talking about not tackling properly, Farrell ran a dummy line and got cleaned out with a shoulder charge, England scored but this should be picked up on. Great game.

What about the high shot on Manu? Welsh player deliberately went high with a head to head tackle, knowing he had to stop him, splitting Manus forehead, clearly used his head.

They posited that Manu had to react to stop himself taking North's head clean off, so pulled his arm in. I'm not convinced, but they showed several instances of Wales intentionally ducking tackles, then immediately claiming high tackle. Wales were a rough and mardy side this week, which isn't normally like them (not seen them much this 6 nations though). England were scrappy and Wales could have just waited them out and taken the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
