Demonsys you're talking nonsense. Dune is spot on - tackle was a beauty, should not even have been a penalty. Your argument concerning Williams's preparation pre-impact is flawed by the fact that Kotze stepped him a metre before the hit - therefore affecting any 'preparation' Williams may have done. Everything about the tackle was legal - the simple fact is that Kotze's impact off Williams was huge which made the collision look illegal. The tackle hight-wise was fine and the arms were wrapping around. The only reason they didn't wrap around fully was becaue Kotze was on the floor before they had a chance to. Kotze knew it himself - great hit. Ref's need to ensure their interpretation of the tackle is not influenced by the impact it causes.
