Also in other news - horwill gets a week off
Inconsistent treatment or Horwill by SANZAR.
Horwill's forearm jolt/stiff forearm is standard practice for Potgeiter and many other South Africans SXV players when entering a ruck.
It's about time that the refs cracked down on it.
I'd also like to see more focus on the around the neck/head wrenching cleanouts.
Do you remember the one where Hodgo was grabbed around the neck and driven head first into the turf at NIB?
AND it happened right in front of the ref and assistant.
I don't think that we should wait for the first serious injury before something is done about this type of thuggery.
Has Dave Dennis been picked up for his shoulder-charge yet? He seems to sneak one in every now and then.

Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Exactly right - I saw Skelton get away with a few tackles like that also in the Brumbies game, one in particular on Nick White I think it was which was worse than the one Adam got carded for in the Bulls game - I couldn't believe it! Nonu's anotherQ serial shoulder charger.
Just heard Quade Cooper out for another 8 weeks. Fractured scapula
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
There was a story that Barnes was going to cover for cooper when he broke his collarbone. Wonder if that'll start back up now.
If he runs out in a Queensland Jersey at suncorp, or trains at ballymore again I'm gonna have to go watch just to see the reaction of the Reds supporters firsthand. I'm thinking it will be hysterical
Nah. A lot of guys probably don't want to be at the Reds right now, but Horwill isn't too worried about what players like KH, JOC and so on are paid.
He's on a pretty good wicket but wasn't quite on the same as Cooper and Genia, for example. That doesn't really faze Horwill. In fact he could probably buy and sell those guys twenty times over because his family is one of the wealthiest in the state (worth north of $100m).
What would bother him more is that his own game is just not what it was since that last major leg injury some time back. His rugby career has likely peaked and he's on the downslide.
Wow. Sharks v Crusaders is soon going to be a 15 man team v a 7s team the way the cards are going. 3 Crusaders in the bin at HT.
edit: and a Red against Sharks.
