[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 526453, member: 20892"] My point re: the gif was that you're better off posting an actual video of the incident, if you're going to bring it up at all, because the gif shows very little. Tackling/clearing out is part of the game, it's not like a random player was taken out. Completely different to Greyling where he had no business doing anything even close to what he did. If you can't see the difference, well then I do worry somewhat. My views on the tackle are influenced by the fact that Mealamu and Umaga have very clean records bar this incident (Mealamu's fairly recent ban aside, of course) - that's two players who have played over 600 matches between them. I just think it's a bit strange that two such players would do such a dangerous thing with the intention of injuring someone. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
