in australia those of us from rugby playing states probably do not even know the rules of the states that play afl which is a completely different sport that involves bouncing the oval shaped ball and punting it to people in a certain way and alot of big kicks of it -- it is played on a cricket ground so much bigger than a soccer field... likewise, those afl playing states have no interest in rugby and may not even know the rules of it in many cases
with tupperguddy, really, the thing that stands out now of those games recently mentioned was a block done by one of the players, it wasn't really a tackle in the sense of using arms to grapple... a linesman saw an opposing linesman coming across fast and he parked in his way and squatted raising a shoulder at him -- a very effective stop -- it seems very unique
furthermore, according to our limited understanding of the sport, it seems like that if a team were foolish enough to field a five-foot tall, very light player, that an opposing player would be able to legally grab them by the ankles, whirl them around a few times, gathering momentum, and then release them flying into a sideline coach and this would be a valid play
IT also seems the players wearing dark colors are at an unfair advantage as it is harder to see the ball as compared to when carried by players wearing white colored jerseys
