[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 143802"] <strike>There is such massive difference between what the kiwis did to O'Driscoll and Emmerick did to Barker. That is all I'm saying. I don't believe, if you really examine the tackle that he went in with intent to do that. It was a textbook tackle...he got low and lifted up...unfortunately Barkley went topsy turvey and Emmerick released him instead of dropping him. See it how you want...we'll obviously disagree...I can see how you'll always fight for your own countryman. I just don't bleieve it was intentional, and I applaud Emmerick for releasing him as to not injur Barkley...it could have been a much, much worse scene had he held on to Olly and slammed him as our All Black friends did to my beloved Irish Legend. </strike>Okay, Okay...[color=#ff0000][b]EDIT[/b][/color]... I've watched the clip over and over now...and yes...from that angle, you can definately see it was dangerous. So, I don't do it often, so lap it up, I was wrong. Bad way to end a great performance. I still stand by my statement that it's fortunate that Emmerick relased barkley and didn't slam him, but it was dangerous and you can see he intended to dump him. [/QUOTE]
