[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1125473, member: 56232"] Hardly "flying in". No it's not a reach, if Tuilagi didn't end up where he is, the Irish player simply falls to the floor. As it is, he instead rolls over Tuilagis back which changes it from him simply falling backwards to instead over-rotating. Tuilagi was not there when he started the tackle and swung around after Willis had initiated the tackle, ie a sudden change in the situation for the tackler. Ireland were the better side but how different would things have been if you were missing 2 players as opposed to England? Ireland were looking better but the game was far from lost before the red. 3 of the 4 tries came after that. It's a massive discrepancy in how the 2 sides were reffed. Going from potentially losing 2 players for the rest of the game to having a 1 then 2 man advantage in the period where you scored 3 tries is huge. This is doubly so when the 2 Irish incidents we have seen were easily as bad if not worse than the English ones. In both cases the Irish players had no mitigation whatsoever, they were fully in control of a stable situation and chose to chuck their shoulders into Ludlams face. Those collisions are exactly the ones the reds are supposed to stop. [/QUOTE]
