Proper shock that - Fiji usually fairly good.

Absolutely stunning set of islands as well.
 
A lot being made of the shoulder charge on Farrell. It was nasty and deserved a red and a ban, but it's interesting to see the uproar in the English (British) media when they've completely ignored Farrell's own no-arms tackles in the past.

So a no arms tackle is the same as dropping a shoulder to the head?

back in your hole, mole.
 
and Farrell’s no arms tackles weren’t shoulder charges from last Autumn.
Don’t get me wrong, not legal but sin bin at most.

The SA one was horrendous no idea how he got away with it.

Yes this one on him was probably a bit worse but again I'm just picking out the difference in reporting and pundit coverage.

Why bring something up from a year ago when the laws have been altered since then?

I was at the SA game, and in real time he was stood up straight the SA player stepped him and slipped into his shoulder. Granted Farrell didn’t wrap, but it’s in no comparison to the tackle yesterday.

You're right it was worse.
