[QUOTE="collace, post: 1038891, member: 70762"] Posted this elsewhere: I'm torn on the Henshaw tackle. On one hand, it's clear to me that he didn't make contact with the head and that it shouldn't have been a red. On the other hand, it just 'looks' wrong. I honestly believe that he was reckless with the way he went into the tackle and it was luck rather than judgement which meant he missed the head. It's the type/style of tackle which could very easily have led to a significant head injury to either player if Balacoune had made any sort of adjustment and it is that type of tackle we are trying to stamp out. I can also understand why Henderson was so annoyed as in real time it looked bad and he has a duty to his player. No easy answer on this one. On the game as a whole I'm pleased Ulster fronted up and showed something this game. Good defence and good intent. Same old story though, just not clinical enough. [/QUOTE]
