that was nasty, nice little right hook to back it up. n they get on with it, no crying involved! if only football was a little like this it might then be a good game
That was not a tackle. Thats was a clear out a breakdown. Just like O'Driscoll, Lions '05. These are not Tackles. However they carry very high danger levels and need to be stopped. I can't condone the punches thrown but I do understand why they were thrown. The citings should fall heavy on the Lions player
Agreed @Ehoa, NZ players always get treated differently to SA players and to a certain extent Oz players. This lions player who made the stupid tackle has got a 6 week ban ( fair enough), but this Piutau thug escapes with not even a warning ~ double standards. Greg peters, head of SANZAR just happens to be a New Zealander, wonder if that's got anything to do with it ~ Pathetic
rhodes got 6 game suspension and piutau got nothing. fair enough for rhodes suspension but piutau should have got at least 1 match suspension for punching.unfair, but everyone (officials mainly from england) sits on nz diks so didnt expect much
That was really a dirty play, almost ripped his head off. I don't blame him for throwing the punches.
thanks for the upload
That's an incredibly dangerous tackle, he should get atleast a solid suspension for it. He could've broken his neck.
The same lions player also stood on a guys head in the Currie cup shouldn't be playing professional sport ever again

"A variation of the swinging neckbreaker! Bah gawd!"
1:14, i was like "wtf happened ? this seems damn dangerous"
then 1:20 "omg !!!"
What in the fook is marshy going on about?
That’ll teach him.
@Tincats123 Great point, but don't hinder your own point by soiling your own mouth by using words such as 'twat'. No need to stoop to their level.
STONECOLD STUNNNNNNNNNER
@SuperTruth77 thats probaly not something u confess on youtube about
@4znl0l Only a Kiwi could put it so eloquently.......
MMMMAAAAAAAN UP!

i thought people could get over 5 years in prison for attempted murder!? why wasnt this guy sentenced!?
Trying to reinact The Exorcist...
The player who twisted him round by his neck should get sighted and banned.. Could have potentially caused death! :(
Dont blame him for smacking him in the face anyone would of retaliated and absoluted pelted him in the face!!!
Rhodes deserved the punches and the 6week ban.
First!
very poor refereeing. I agree with most of the other comments so no need to elaborate. Should have been 2 red cards, a head lock and a punch to head
spot on
For piutau a 3 week ban, and for the lion a year ban (at least)

Why is he thug he would of died with that head lock idiot is dirty piutau doing what any man would do if he was getting his head twisted like that .
CROSS RHODES
NO HE REVERSED IT
WMD ITS OVER
Horrible play!!!! of the red player. I`m not saying that the punch is ok, but I understand the reaction.
rhodes got 6 game suspension and piutau got nothing. fair enough for rhodes suspension but piutau should have got at least 1 match suspension for punching.unfair, but everyone (officials mainly from england) sits on nz diks so didnt expect much
