inglis on young for me was beautiful. Gi did a couple of similar ones the few games leading up to that one too. It's like he was perfecting his craft, becoming a master of the emphatic break-ending shoulder charge and we were set to see it happen everytime anyone dared make a break on the rabbits. Then the nrl happened and ruined everything. Its akin to if shakespeare was about to start writing his plays and then some moron ran up, broke all his feather pens and put him in jail.

Wally Lewis, Eden Park , Auckland.

Dunno who the poor sod Kiwi was who copped it
That was Daryl Williams, smashed right over the big Lion Red signage. Pearler. Whomever smashed Rohan Hancock in a Kiwi's v Kangaroos test back in the eighties - that's one for the ages.

Looking at the wiki one it is not hard to see some inconsistent decisions in 2013. Was that wiki hit a tackle or a shoulder charge?

burgess on fui fui was'nt a shoulder charge though


fui just ran into a 18 year old brick wall :lol:

This is what people need to really recognise here.

Burgess tackle on O'Donnell, which media and commentators considered a shoulder charge, is the exact same technique as on Moi Moi

The only difference between Burgess on Fui and Burgess on O'Donnell is that Burgess catches Fui slightly more face on, and doesn't collect him in the head. In both cases he throws his right shoulder into the attacker.

So I'd say that Burgess on Fui is a shoulder charge using their definition and it's going to be stamped from the game.

Also Kidwell on Mason post Hakagate was pretty memorable.

Couldn't be effed finding footage of this one or the Meli ones but would watch if someone did.
