I’d say the same with high tackles. All the years I played rugby, having an arm make contact with the shoulder of a player wasn’t a cardable offence. It’s just leading to Selwood style dropping the knees.Uruguay robbed of a try by another pedantic call from the TMOs, they are ruining this tournament.
Gordon Bray nailing it "The TMOs are having too much say", they're examining things to within an inch and overruling on field calls which should be let go.
The head is sacrosanct these days in all sports. Cheika can moan all he likes but it won't change anything.I’d say the same with high tackles.

They’re not getting the head though. I reckon I could have pulled out at least 3 more yellows from that half if they were consistent. The way they call high is so soft now.Tackling technique sucks. It's obvious the head is off limits and we keep getting done.
Softer than AFL.They’re not getting the head though. I reckon I could have pulled out at least 3 more yellows from that half if they were consistent. The way they call high is so soft now.
Those South American rugby players look like Spaniards.These Aussie rugby players look like pacific islanders .
Better watch out, you can get ejected from Lords for that sort of talk!Slipper getting a standing ovation for his first try and for being an actual Australian that was born here. a rare treat for Wallabies fans these days.
Concussion mate . You cant tackle high . Players miss weeks , careers are shortened . Its the way the game is going now .I know they want to protect the head, but in that instance I'm just not sure how it could've been avoided. Player wasn't hurt at all, so yellow and let judiciary do the rest. Tackling in the air used to be a yellow too.

England player dropped his knees to draw high contact. The IRB are going to * this sport with their changing of decisions around high tackles.I get that, I just didn't think it was a high tackle as such.
