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?

This weekend, George North put in a virtuoso performance befitting of his exulted status within the game; scoring four tries against the Ospreys in the European Champions Cup.

The former Scarlet exhibited all his strength, power & try scoring instincts, particularly for his last score.

In what could only be described as a sequence of horrific proportions for George Pisi, the Northampton centre manages not only to drop the ball with the line at his mercy, but, in the process, also pick up what looked like a hamstring injury.

To add insult to injury, his team, the Northampton Saints, would go on to cede not only the game but what could have been a crucial losing bonus point.  Their opponents, Racing Metro, however, can count their lucky stars.

Now, here’s something you don’t see every day: a gargantuan prop stopped short of the line by a scrum half.

In Northampton’s comprehensive bonus point victory over Sale on Saturday, Kahn Fotuali’i, the former Ospreys scrum half, felled Italian prop Alberto di Marchi short of the line with a tackle of courage, conviction and, most of all, strength.

Fotuali’i’s intervention was the Samoan’s second big moment in the game as, earlier, he touched down for a try. All of this, from the bench.

Seismologists, watch this clip of Joe Marler smashing George North and fill your boots.

The sheer force and expended energy of the loose-head’s hit on the Welsh winger was sure to have sent tremors reverberating around the earth’s surface.

It was during a Premiership match between Saints and Quins last season, North, as he typically does, looked to go on a barnstorming run but was stopped dead in his tracks by the unusually haired prop, Joe Marler.

Now, it’s not often that the gargantuan winger will be stopped so abruptly when he’s cantering at full pace, so Marler deserves credit for the timing and the power of the tackle.
