    On rugby.com.au they've got a nice one of the Guthro tackle but nothing of the Matfield on.

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

    to quote James O'Connor on that tackle "just went in hard with closed eyes ;)"

    My favourite tackle of the game was the one that Pocock put on Habana, as he chased Habana down to save a try.

    Huge tackle in the context of the game, and the fact that he chased down a player regarded as one of the quickest in world rugby, with an open try line was something pretty special.

    Thought the Rocky tackle was pretty good, looked like he got mowed down but really just stripped the ball and got back up to make a couple of meters.

    Browns tackle on Fourie was pretty good as well as he turned it over close to their try line.

    Then there was the Rob Horne hit on Fourie as well!
