But he no more than cuffed Yacob who maybe justifiably fell through momentum, but he was not pole axed and he milked it.
If that was against us we'd be complaining like mad.
I hate the way players feign injury and use this as a weapon against other teams.
Not sure if its just me - but I get the feeling a few more yellow cards are being issued for diving now - its about bloody time.
Sorry Stairs not looking for a row but i gotta stick with my initial thoughts on this. You cannot grab a bloke by the head no matter how soft it appears. Above the neck tackles are a total no no in rugby which is a much tougher contact sport and the reason is simple.... you can break someones neck! If a person was to suddenly change direction or start sprinting just as you grab the head....? Honestly mate we'd be saying how stupid was our player for doing summit like that so red card all day long IMO ;-)
