I think the theory of tackling is that if you stop someone away from the center of gravity you can more easily bring them down. This historically meant tackling round the ankles, or as low as you could. The Samoans worked out that if you jumped into the air and led with your shoulder into the guy's face (err.. not that's not allowed, I mean his chest of course), you were just as far from his centre of gravity, you caused him to rotate backwards rather than forwards, and there was a reasonable chance he wouldn't feel like playing any more afterwards. (If he was still capable of feeling anything at all...)

I thought it was funny when he called the All Blacks chokers.. and then he almost shat himself when he relised Sean Fitzpatrick was going to throttle him. He could have backed down a little faster.. but not by much.

I think ITV have put together a pretty good commentary and studio group this time. Will Greenwood is fantastic and Martin Johnson has pure authority in everything he says.
But there are a lot of infuriating things about their coverage, and the biggest of all is Jim Rosenthal whose every word makes me cringe. He seems to be on some kind of commission to include every possible nickname and cliche in existence as often as possible and obviously doesn't listen to a word that the real experts say. He'll start a conversation with, "So, reigning World Champions England really struggling there against the plucky Eagles - The Yanks. Do Brian Ashton's men have a chance against The Boks?" Followed by studio experts saying, yes, of course England have a chance against South Africa. Summed up by Rosenthal as, "So, reigning World Champions England really struggling against the plucky Eagles - The Yanks. Brian Ashton's men will be worried about facing The Boks." Cut to studio experts, faces in hands with embarrassment.

They did a deal, ITV get free use of the Sky commentators, and Sky gets pictures for thier rugby highlights show.

How come the Sky commentators are on ITV? Or is it just that I am going mad and it just sounds like Stuart Barnes>?!
