Not seen it, but i know in union shoulder hits are not allowed. You have to make a tackle attempt with the arms i believe.

Why? He is so overated from what I have seen. Also I remember reading am article about him saying himself that he chose to play Union because he wasnt good enough for League.

The very same Matt Giteau who said, "I don't consider myself a celebrity and I've got a great family that makes sure it stays that way. It doesn't matter if I'm playing union for Australia, they still reckon I'm not good enough to play reserve grade in rugby league." :lol:
