Quote: SaintsFan "No, but when a player is kicking he is unable to defend himself. Taking a player out in that kind of vulnerable position is not sporting; it is irresponsibility. We have rules in place to protect players from irresponsibility. Or would you reintroduce the cumberland throw or say that players should be free to freely thump their opposition around the head or upend them on their necks?
Get real, Pete. Doing what Hoffman did may indeed have been adjudged to be legal but in another match he would have been sinbinned. Because what he did was irresponsible, not sporting.'"
Can't be d having this debate from somebody that's never played the game.
Rugby is a tough sport and more things go on than what Hoffman did and alot worse.
Maybe we should play tick n pass
