Shoulder charge in RU is an automatic sin bin, one of the worst rules in the game.

Only saw it on the big screen and it looked like Burgess' head hit Walker's shoulder but I couldn't really tell - hope the lad's Ok - it looked real nasty.

Awful, his teeth seem lower to the right of his jaw.

Hope he's ok, had a fairly decent game!

Christ, that looks awful.

Hope he recovers quickly and the damage is minimal.
No intent just 2 props going at it and the collision went wrong.

Because a shoulder charge can be utilized in a safe way to stop an opponent 99% of the time. Union's laws about having the wrap your arms around an opponent are ridiculous.
