[QUOTE="RugbyChump, post: 146229"] Try re-watching the second half. You know the final 40 minutes of a game, I'm sure you have the arithmetic capacity... :) Big words, the Saffers I'd imagine have more potency there. Martyn Williams & Colin Charvis have always been the scavengers for Wales, always putting in the hard work to secure ball or to scrag the odd one or two. Sure they were 'bested' by Smith et al on Saturday. Although that's only one game. One on one you seriously think Smith could outmuscle Charvis lol :D. Christ must be that Kangaroo p*ss (Foster's) you like so much. Williams may not have the brute power of Charvis but he's one of our best players and would certainly be amongst the best of the NH's flankers. In fairness the two of them were lucky not to get a yellow there. I think Steve "kicked him in the heeeeeed" (Wales v Scotland 6N 2006) Walsh was astute enough not to issue a yellow to Mortlock given that he hadn't issued a yellow or even a red to Thomas. There have been other instances which people have noted, apparently Shane Williams being tripped before getting to the ball (someone could clarify that for me?) and Mike Phillips shoeing Dunning I believe. However no one's been cited and frankly there's no point, the atmosphere was buzzing, it was a high tempo game and things like that tend to happen on such occasions. Really numpty.. So now you see it wasn't a proper tackle, he made no attempt whatsoever at trying to 'fully' (by that I mean using his arms) to tackle Thomas. The fact he made such a hit on Thomas [i]after[/i] what he did to Berrick Barnes in my opnion wasn't a coincidence. You'll notice the commentator Stuart Barnes said that Mortlock was ok because his tackle was a 'fraction' late compared to Thomas' blatant late one. However the two tackles were the [b]same[/b]. Attempting pseudo slanderous jibes doesn't do anything here other than show other I possibly aggravated a nerve. I clearly have and also elaborated a little more than you have. Although I won't put that down to lacking in mental prowess. [b]Double post because it wouldn't let me edit the first.[/b] [/QUOTE]
