The thing about footballers going down easily is that there is something to be gained. They are finely tuned athletics at peak fitness. They aren't wimps. In Rugby, there's no real currency in feigning injury, is there? I'm tired of reading comments from people comparing the sports. Pointless exercise. Respect for the referee, however...Now that is something worth talking about.

Phil Simmonds The discussion is in the fact that Rugby is setting a dangerous trend. If the officials cannot get this correct what chance have they in other decisions. Saying that he was commit before the pass was made is a weak excuse. He could have pulled out at any point before. It was clear that the French player was passing the ball and that the ball had left. What is next in the game he was committed with the high tackle. Or my finger just accidentally landed in his eye. This is the kind of nonsense that pops up in soccer were they say things like he did not mean it he is a good lad.

VinceratedR No law says anything about control in the tackle. The only law that mentions the head hitting the ground is the spear tackle law, but it only applies if a player is lifted from the floor, not if his feet leave the floor in the case of a big hit. If the refs were giving penalties every time a guys head hit the floor during a tackle the game would never finish.

Courtney Lawes - the master of smashing the little man. The tackle is great, as often is with Lawes. But has anyone ever seen him to this to someone of the same size or bigger than him? Me neither. Going mental over Lawes smashing someone who's considerably smaller and lighter than him is just like causing a huge fuss over a lion winning a fight against a dog. Of course Plisson was going to come off second best! Had Lawes done this to someone like Bastareud, Dusatoir or Pascal Pape, then yeah, amazing, but it's against a fly half who Lawes is twice the size of!

Incredible self discipline NOT to 'Lamp' any of the four French players who surrounded him goading a reaction. Robshaw leads by example, Lawes is equally capable of becoming a future England Captain. Now that match commentators have woken up to this mans ability, he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. The 2015 World Cup will be an historic one. England have, this weekend, sent out a strong message to all other competing nations - Prepare For Battle.

Not even a penalty??!! Pretty fair from Owens, what about players security...

Why would it be? Perfectly timed, not high therefore not dangerous.

vorno102 The landing was quit dangerous... He planted his head on the ground. Takle was perfect, landing was dangerous

Thomas Dudzinski If your french it was dangerous, that's not Lawes fault, he doesn't deliberately make Plisson land like that, it's not a spear tackle. It's just because of the size difference between the players. No one is to blame.

so what, you saying we have to tackle but be careful of how people land? so grab his legs and just place him lying down on the floor so he doesnt hurt his lickle boo boo?

Chris Taylor I think we do have to be careful how we tackle people, and the tackler does have a responsibility to the tacklee to not break the rules and injure the tacklee through breaking the rules, but as has been said a million times here, Lawes was within the laws though so if an injury had occurred, that wouldn't have been Lawes fault.

As a Scotsman, let me say this was a brilliant tackle. Wish the Scots tackled like this.

Lawes perfectly knows that he won't tackle Plisson with the ball in hand when he starts his tackle (everybody who played rugby knows that). Lawes played it just well enough to stay within the rules but it's still a dangerous tackle on purpose (not the first time from Lawes).
