[QUOTE="Makos, post: 825445, member: 74493"] I'd just like to call into question the integrity of that gif you posted. I have looked all over the internet for the source footage. The other angles that were displayed live to me and uploaded on youtube don't make it as clear. If you could find me the source of that gif, or an uploaded longer length video, I'd feel more comfortable about it's origin and authenticity. [media=youtube]5vwo-FiOGCA[/media] The comments from the TMO asked by the ref were "Is he trying to wrap?", which was answered "Yes, he's trying to wrap." For me I'm 50/50 about the tackle after watching it a few times. I can understand why Ireland and their fans are not happy about it, as it knocked Henshaw out and he possibly did hit him with the shoulder first. But I still feel Henshaw fell into Cane and there was absolutely no intent from Cane to hit him in the head and I think he was wrapping, you see his right arm come around and his left arm is clearly wrapping. If he gets banned, I 100% accept that. But in the context of things, I don't think you can give him a red card for such a pure accident, it really was an accident and just an unfortunate situation.
