Some big hits and slams on the weekend

1. Nonu on Fekitoa.That was as close to a shoulder charge as you could get. Nonu just got enough limp arm around to let him off.

 

2. Cruden dumped on his head by the "serial bully" (to quote Tony). Looked bad at normal speed and worse at slow motion. Ref and Touchy thought so and red carded. they ignore 3rd umpire, who disagreed. Now Review panel say poor decision, tackle fine. What's Joe Public to make of that.

 

3. The big Pommy lock blindsiding the little Froggy 1st Five. Looked bad, but Ref rules he committed. If that was Rickie McCaw tackling the English 1st Five in that manner at Twickenham would the Ref have seen it that way? I don't think so.
