And what did Schmidt say to the circle? “I just said that I was proud of them.”

We are all proud of the wallabies standing up yesterday. That match will go down in history for sure

I thought base of the neck. And it something that I don't want to see in the game. I agree with Schmidt saying it is contrary to player welfare. But it was also legal, a textbook clearout, and rugby has these incidents if you want a ruck. Joining a ruck is certainly where we find the greatest risk with the tackling height lowered
