Agree about the first shot being instinctive as he lined Tomkins up only for Tomkins to step him. But Peacock then turns round and swins another arm at him. Should have been given 10 considering what Farrell went for.

On another note, I thought Peacock was outstanding today (apart from the above). Possibly the best forward on the pitch.

And he would spend a lot of time in the bin in 2010.

As Farrell clearly didn't get anywhere near a charge down (he came from the side and the ball was kicked without hitting him, both indicating this) then his leap through the air was for what exact purpose? When in a game would leaping high through the air with your arms down at a player not result in a high dangerous contact? Clearly a penalty....

Why doesn't Lee Briers get penalised for taking the GLDO 1 metre forward from where he should??

Why do you HAVE to use your arms to charge the ball down? Using your body is just as effective.

If the ball hits Farrell but he continues his path and hits Maguire in the same way would this still be classed as a late hit ?

If not could someone explain the difference.
