In the modern game Cipriani would have been off and red carded for that, regardless of being knocked out. Upright tackle, dangerous head impact.... would have been yellow, reviewed then upgraded.
Faf;s got incredible Rugby-intelligence. And he can back it up as well with all of his skills. On top of that he's ruthlessly fearless and fast as f*kk (hahaha, only NOW I get his name!)
He knows that if you hit him it's a red he wouldn't be that cocky back in the 80s when it was nicked named thugby he would of got whacked every ten minutes, I still think he's great though
What a legend .. seriously short but massive on the field ..with 100percent performances ..and no fear . Speedy too with the odd dirty side ...that makes him the complete player
I understand why he's the people favourite, but if you look at all the games you know as a enemy player you would hate him..really hate him. I guess if you're favourite team stand against his team you will hat him too.
