Harlequins’ Kyle Sinckler, exhibiting a wanton disregard for the rules of Rugby, was sin binned for this no arms tackle on Northampton’s big hit machine, Samu Manoa, in last night’s Aviva Premiership clash between Northampton and Harlequins.

Perhaps Sinckler missed the training the day they explained where you’re supposed to use your arms to tackle?

Ask any Rugby player what some of the most important attributes in Rugby are and it’s likely that determination will be mentioned by each and every one of them.

Matt Hopper, the Harlequins centre, showed that attribute in spades last weekend as he chased down and tackled Leicester Tigers Vereniki Goneva, dragging the electric winger into touch and preventing a certain try.

Matt Hopper, we tip our caps to you.

London Welsh have had a rotten start to their first Premiership campaign since promotion.

Welsh, who signed over twenty players during the off season, have lost all their fixtures to date; conceding 249 points in the process.

In this one excerpt, from Welsh’s 52-0 tonking at the hands of Harlequins, the London based sides season was summed up.

Welsh manage to fumble the ball from three routine kicks which, nine times out of ten, any professional player would claim with relative comfort.

When the opposition fans ironically cheers your successful fielding of a ball, you know things are bad.

After being tonked 39-0 at home to their London rivals, Saracens, the Harlequins video analysis session this week will make for grim viewing.

The only player who could even slightly hold his head up after the carnage of the hammering is, of course, Mike Brown.

The England full back saved a certain try early in the game as his relentlessness and tackle made Duncan Taylor spill the ball with the line at his mercy.
