[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 340157, member: 43875"] I think the all blacks just have better discipline. And they respond to warnings better. I mean Look back over the last few years, when was the last time we saw an all black with his fingers in another players eye? or an all black head butting another player? And how often to we see all blacks make lifting "spear" type tackles? Not very often... There was a Carter High tackle last year? not much in it but it caused a crap storm. Then Have to go back to Brad thorn dumping John Smit a couple of years ago for anything of note. Very unlike Brad and stupid rather than dangerous. Before that we have to go way back to Tana's cleanout on BOD, careless maybe yes intensional? No. In contrast is anyone ever suprised to see the likes of Burger or Botha when they get in trouble these days? Or to a lesser extent butch james... Not really, with those guys it's just a matter of when rather than if. And the boks only have themselves to blame when the coach backs their actions. Was actually great to see Jimmy Cowan just laugh it off when Both head butted him. He is one player that can react badly to situations like that, but the way he delt with it was pure class. [/QUOTE]
