Yeah I can understand the apprehension, it occured to me (and everyone else it seems) that we first started putting our stamp on the game when your sides superior skills where really showing. And from there I figure they just decided to not even let you guys get into the game in the first place by hitting some bodies early on.

Yeah that tackle was really just mental. I believe in the physical intimidation within a game when its good fair and honest like out muscling an opponent or using brute force within the rules of the game which in many cases adds to a great contest. I think that in recent times the Aussie lads have been getting in their retaliation first. Still has the potential to be ressurected but both teams need to agree to cut out the niggle and play ball.
