Correct Shabs. It wasn't high.
But it was a shoulder charge and should have been penalised, We got away with one there. But Saints got plenty of calls in the game.
Someone needs to speak to Welsby. He can't take the law into his own hands - and he has ultimately cost them the game.
Myler was whacked 3 times. All were, quite rightly, punished.
Did our players come flying up the pitch to start on the player? No.
Yep. Saints have built their unprecedented success by playing an extremely aggressive style of Rugby, often to the very edge of the law. Most times they stay within it, last night they didn't and were rightly punished. The game doesn't need creative players being clobbered off the ball, regardless of which team is doing it. Smith's strategy of going round rather than through, probably contributed to those late tackles. Credit to him.
