This is not even James Haskell greatest tackle, let's be honest. Mathew Tait's try saving tackle no.1, or Cortney Laws lining up (any) fly half, would be a better choice, imo.
@@Hhhh-cd2kf true. And I'd be happy to concede that any number of those tackles are better than this. It's just that as an England fan, I naturally remember what England do. I'm assuming you have a much greater knowledge of Scottish players and games than you do for Ireland.

Just for clarity I'm a huge Hask fan. Just think they've chosen a bad example of good tackling in the modern age...5 years ago this would have been a monster hit. Now it's questionably on the wrong side of the law. The player is landed on his back/neck out of control something that's trying to be taken out of the game.
About the one play Haskell is known for in his whole career, and the No. 8 was in mid air when the tackle was made. Hask must be doing his own publicity now.
his left foot just about tickled the ground so it is a legal tackle as the legs didnt go above horizontal and he followd the tackle through to the best of his ability and was around his waste a bit risky but a perfectly fine tackle
Feet never touched the Ground. Hit in the air Yellow to Red For this mate..Check out Bismarck vs Carter thats a killer plus he was yellowed for a legitimate hit
This is a great hit but very easy to line it up after Pocock jumping to catch a pass. I'm much more impressed by the hits where the attacker stands a chance and still gets smashed. By the way, everyone saying this should be a penalty doesn't know the rules. It's only from a kick that the in the air thing applies. If you jump whilst catching a pass then you can expect to be on the end of one of these...

Wasn’t he still in the air? 😂
Yes
@@ghostguin1398 Not according to the referee
Yes, but he was jumping into the tackle. Which is not allowable.
@@timoakley277intentionally jumping to avoid a tackle is. If you think that is what pocock is doing here I haveany questions
@@ghostguin1398 it's what it looks like to me. But yes, something of a grey area.

Jumping into the tackle

Bro I think you don't know the laws BRO dude
Lol
@@Snookbone
Hands up who saw that single blade being glanced by the toe? He was most definitely down! 😂
I think you need to check the laws of rugby. In this instance, receiving a pass, whether his feet are on the ground or not, it does not matter.
@@MKRM27 also jumping in the air to catch a pass is debatable as well. So instead of me searching for the specific rule - what is the rule for a pass?
Not relevant
Josh Lewsey on Matt Rogers
You know your rugby!!!!
He went to TSS on the Goldie. Played for the Titans and.....Ohhhh yeah he was sssmmmmmaaaaashed
Read my mind!
Josh Lewsey on Jonah Lomu!
Courtney lawes of that French player (forget his name)
This is not even James Haskell greatest tackle, let's be honest. Mathew Tait's try saving tackle no.1, or Cortney Laws lining up (any) fly half, would be a better choice, imo.
Or Underhill’s try saver against wales
Or another country there is more country’s than England

He is mid landing not in the air

how the tables turn aue
Bronze medal 🥉
Foot never touched the floor that’s a penalty
Wrong
He is actually right @@Snookbone
He was in the air 🚩
I referee and this is perfectly legal as he was jumping into the tackle
So?
Why can’t I stop watching this
The Haskell in beast mode
Wilkinson on Ntamack was the best tackle I have seen.
Pub I was erupted when he flattened him with that hit.
Have you ever seen Brian Lima hit on South Africa, that’s the greatest hit
Ethan de groot v harry Wilson 2022 bledisloe cup
looks like a penalty to me tackled in the air did his feet even touch the ground???
Look at the Japanese rugby talkle it’s brilint😊
Step 1 to not get clobber don't jump the more you know 😊😊
He was still on the air
Not relevant
This is an insane tackle
Had this been done against England, England would be claiming that theyre cheating
No they wouldn't
Or a debate whether it's yellow or red 😂
Agree - arguably Pocock was in the air - a lucky dip if it would be red or yellow…
@@jeremychurch590 I think that rule only applies at lineouts and kicks
Also you can't jump into a tackle
Obviously not mate otherwise everyone would always jump every time they caught a pass or before every tackle so they couldn’t get hit
Yellow

Ofc it’s James Haskell
Thats why you dont jump
Perfectly timed tackle by Hasks. Bravo sir!
Shade of Lawrence Dallaglio in his heyday
Who ever posted this doesn't really know what a Real tackle is.
About the one play Haskell is known for in his whole career, and the No. 8 was in mid air when the tackle was made. Hask must be doing his own publicity now.
oih! A yew schewped! That Ozi was in the air
That’s a yellow card because you can’t tackle someone while there in the air
Any Jerry Collins highlight reel has a dozen better than that against players who are actually trying to avoid being hit, not defenceless in the air.
tackled in the air, penalty every day
My guys foot didn’t even touch the floor 😂
Doesn't matter
Off his feet
Greatest illegal tackle ever
Not illegal
We get taught from about 8 to go low but rugby players almost always go for the core. Is it because the core is easier too hit at that level?
Lol that guy is still Air Jordan bro
BANG!!! What a hit
Josh Lewsey’s revenge tackle on Matt Rogers was sweet…rib rattler he couldn’t get up from 👌🏼
A hospital pass tackle is England's greatest tackler lolz
Haskell was a unit
In the opinion of Haskell and the entire England rufby fraternity only.
wow, so brave and courageous
I support England but he doesn't even touch the floor
I bet number 8 was like, "yeah cheers for that pass".
From Rugby to WWE
Don't think his left foot made contact with the ground before taking the hit.
Not relevant from a pass
Phil Vickery on Olivier Magne 💪🏻
Me and my friends when where playing school footy and it’s last play😂😂😂😂😂
I’m sure the lions for a penalty off the all blacks when they made a tackle like that as it was deemed the player was in the air
That was from a kick you spaffhead
Jerry Collin’s hit on Nathan Sharpe RWC semi final
Also the greatest rivalry ever.
I'd be fuming if I received that pass
One of them
That's like a school boy tackle 😂
Should be titled greatest hospital pass ever 😂
He was still in the air 🤪
penalty. he was in the air
Isn’t that in the air?
Does anybody remember when Australia were good at Rugby ?
What a tackle
Ramos when ref is sleeping
Taken in the air silly pomes
Pelous on Keith Wood in Paris gets my vote
his left foot just about tickled the ground so it is a legal tackle as the legs didnt go above horizontal and he followd the tackle through to the best of his ability and was around his waste a bit risky but a perfectly fine tackle
Not relevant when from a pass
My god rugby is screwed
Lewsey on Rodgers. Melbourne. 2003. look it up youngsters
Well done for showing people how not to tackle in this current era of rugby. 😂
ILLEGAL
The impact landing caused a Earthquake 🌎! Heavy Nova man!UK 😳 🇬🇧
Feet never touched the Ground. Hit in the air Yellow to Red For this mate..Check out Bismarck vs Carter thats a killer plus he was yellowed for a legitimate hit
Literally the next yt short after this when i swiped down was SA scoring an end to end try against England who missed every tackle lol
Penalty all day long, and a card. Thought it at the time too.
Only a split second in it, but he was in the air!!
Doesnt apply
Thats for kick and lineouts ONLY
He was not even on the ground that’s a free
Brian Lima. Any of his hits. End of.
Lima was a thug. Violent. Not great tackles at all.
Nu 8 recipient of a Hospital pass , tackler did not have to work for the tackle it was given to him on a tray which is also not his fault .
Amazing
That was a hospital pass if I've ever seen one
Don't mess with the Aussies

Best ever England tackle was Josh Lewsey on Jonah Lomu in full flight on the Tour From Hell.
He's still in the air though
Dude is in the air...red card
Not relevant from a pass

Lets go to the bunker and get it upgraded to a red.
Yeah dead on, pity it was illegal, man's in the air!
Illegal tackle
Today, you'd get sin binned for that
That said I wouldn’t want to be hit by Haskell
His foot just scraped the surface of the grass, it's the video quality that's misleading not the title
Brilliant tackle, however the sad thing is this would probably be carded now. State of the game
Nope. The holder of the ball was in the air - so not legal.
This has to have been posted by Haskell
greatest red card ever
Deadly💀💀💀
That’s what ya call rugby
For Hask to catch anyone they would have to be stationary. You need a calendar to time him over a 100m
M8 you must have said that to Owen Farrell because he was out of the World Cup for the first 2 games
It’s not good when you tackle in the air
