@ sandal & justice_4_all... the BOD so-called spear tackle should also be seen in the context of a TJ calling out "let him go, let him go" while waving his flag around. The audio played on TV3 news the day after the incident but then vanished. I've looked for it on YouTube a few times without success but assume it must still be out there in cyberspace. I believe that had Umaga & Mealamu been cited they'd have defended the charge at least partly on the basis of following the TJ's instructions; I also believe they weren't cited at least partly due to the embarressment such a defence would've caused the IRB, and that a deal was done whereby Umaga & Mealamu avoided being cited & the practice of cleaning out was (rightly if belatedly) demed dangerous play.

Lifetime ban should be enforced here, there is no call for viewer participation, you go to watch a game to cheer your team on, not assault the other teams captain, this is essentially the same as going into someone's office while they're at work and throwing a bottle at their head...unacceptable.

sandal, are you really trying to compare taking someone out off the ball with two players trying to drive someone head first into the ground?

@justice_4_all
In fairness to Mealamu, the BOD incident has to be considered in context. That year (2005) there was a lot of clearing out well beyond the breakdown. In the Lions-Maori game I was shocked to see the Lions taking out players almost in the manner of American football.
BOD had no objections to that. When he became a victim of the practice -- and it was inevitable that someone would -- it seems that he changed his mind. As did the British and Irish media. At the time they made little of Mealamu's role; their object was to get Umaga, the captain.

my god what a complete moronic twit this guy must be! who in their right mind would confront kev!? pathetic that spectators think they can interact with players like this, there should be a rule if you enter the playing area, the players should have a licence to take matters into their own hands.

Typically what a Bulls supporter would off done...
@Herbman
I do believe that Rene Rangers didn`t do it on purpose (without arms). But I am curious about if there should of been a penalty given to the Bulls on the half line after the conversion. Because then the Bulls might of still won the game. PR what does the rule book tell us?

Sad story. Mealamu is one of the finest and most correct players. It is an act of cowardice.

I'll never condone this, but after seeing that shocking "tackle" from Ranger on Basson I felt like throwing a whole sixpack at him through the tv.

Wasn't a bottle or can of beer thrown at a player once many years ago? And didn't he go on to pick it up, take a swig and throw it back? Brian Moore, perhaps..?

Starledwombat. This was disgraceful but I can recall the Shark's Deon Kayser being assaulted by a fan a few years ago. In Australia.

Rumoured to be a cousin of Pieter van Zyl.
The etiquette in the Australian Conference is that any handbagging is done on the field, between the teams, especially if NSW are playing the Reds. Spectator participation is vicarious only. Clearly the situation is somewhat different in SA.
