Quins v Bath - great turnover or tackler not releasing

[Lex Hipkins]

In the ITV highlights for this last weekend showing the Quins v Bath game at one point the commentators Nick Mullins and Ben Kay are ecstatic in how the Quins full back, Mike Brown, was playing as he tackled the Bath scrum half, Claassens, and rips the ball from before trundling up the pitch. ITV even went so far as to show a slow motion replay (very rare) where Mullins and Kay were even more euphoric about Brown

To my mind it was quite obvious that the tackle was made and that the tackler (Brown) then did not release the tackled player (Claasens) giving him no opportunity to release or pass the ball

Anybody else see this?

Reading obviously biased posters extolling the virtues of seeing Bath beaten (again) does not contitute a "discussion" :biggrin:

Hi Ian,
Hampshire is more of a grass roots county. That's to say they don't have a Premiership team of their own, so they slag off Elite sides with comments like "Every one is aware of the reality of rugby that the Premiership clubs are just the tip of the iceberg.”
