THERE IS MUCH debate about tackling in rugby at the moment and the degree to which it should be punished.
In yesterday’s Wales-Ireland game, Bradley Davies was sin-binned for what looked a dangerous tackle on Donnacha Ryan.
Many people have compared it to a similar tackle for which Sam Warburton was sent off during Wales’ World Cup semi-final with France.

In addition, Stephen Ferris was sin-binned for what seemed a far more innocuous tackle in the dying seconds of the game (you can view both incidents below).
So what do you think? Are rugby officials being too harsh? Or are they being overly lenient? Or perhaps they need to develop a greater consistency in their decision-making?
