[QUOTE="Dunhookin, post: 828246, member: 74570"] O'Driscoll was on the end of a strong and illegal tackle. There was nothing premeditated about it. Get over it.[/QUOTE] Well Zoot ole son, you have your opinion - and I have mine. A 'strong and illegal tackle' - a convenient watered down version of reality. It was a viscous, deliberate spear into the ground. As take outs go, they don't get to look more premeditated. Umaga and Mealamu knew exactly what they were doing. The Aussie touch judge had a ring side seat, but ran away like a frightened rabbit - very eager to distance himself from it. The Lions were incensed, which should have vented in the post match press interviews - but Alistair Campbell, supposedly there for his media skills, was worse than useless. And the Kiwis took the initiative, skilfully steering the spotlight away from the take out culprits - and onto Grewcock, who's suddenly the bad guy for apparently biting Mealamu's finger. Bod is out injured for 6 months and Mealamu has a mark on his finger...! A classic double stitch up - and those responsible get away with it scot free - a disreputable, sordid situation and very unacceptable [/QUOTE]
