Agree totally on that, no charge down, just charged at herbert and caught him flush on the chin with forearm. .

Looks like you have taken on the mantle of the most stupid poster on this board. Which is not easy.

When did we have 7 tackles? I think this is one of those made up things that someone said and now Saints fans are jumping on board as gospel.

Ok ll think Ill join in with the spirit of this thread.
After Lee Gaskell had dropped that high ball(note after the ball had been spilled) one of your guys came in with a swinger plumb on his jaw. Lynch noticing he was in cloud cuckoo land then runs at him and puts the ball down to score.
Hope thats looked at just like you want Wilkins hits.

Name me another pro rugby player that wouldn't do the same?

Not sure about the punch on the jaw mind. You were lucky to get the point and deserved none, I'd leave it there

He was poleaxed after dropping the ball, glad someone else noticed it. But it wasn't on the jaw, as you well know.

Not the point I was making.

I couldn't see a problem with what Diskin said. He expressed an opinion on the last minute penalty but did not personally attack the ref. His views on officials having too much impact were expressed in general terms and the main point he made was that players wanted refs to let the game flow more. Thought he spoke well and considering the situation his comments were well judged and well made.

ok but I did also say I didn't think Gaskell was punched.

In terms of timing I don't have a problem with Wilkins hit as Ive seen a lot later not given. What I'd like to see again is where and how he struck Herbert

Really I thought he spoke like a one eyed Bulls fan.
