Marika Koroibete's incredible try saver | Every replay angle 

love that the Aussies keep reposting this to wind up the SA fans. top tier wind up merchants

Amazing tackle! First tackle I've seen where a player wraps with the outside of his arm/shoulder

Who says the ref wasn't citing dangerous play, he did sent Faf to the bin for almost hitting Nick White's moustache.

I love it when the SA's are salty🤣🤣 best tackle of the year!

The best shoulder charge I’ve seen all year. Well done!

Bryce Lawrence reincarnated.

Well at least a young 19 year old in Canan Moodie showed the world that Karoibete can't use his arms under the high ball either. 🤷‍♂️

Excerpt from Nigel Owens column at WalesOnline: I have looked at it many times and I’m finding it difficult to see this as anything but an illegal tackle by Koroibete. To me, he leads with his shoulder and his arm is tucked down by his side. There’s not an attempt to wrap, for me. What happens in a legal tackle is as the shoulder makes contact your arm then, in that split second, is simultaneously wrapping at the same time. Your arm is out ready to grasp and as the shoulder hits the arm clamps around. But, if you look at the moment when Koroibete’s shoulder makes contact, his arm is down by his side. It’s not in an action or an attempt to wrap. That is the key. I can’t see a simultaneous wrap with the hit of the shoulder and that’s why I think it’s foul play. He’s gone in with shoulder first and it should be a penalty and a yellow card. You are probably looking at a penalty try as well. It’s not the type of tackle I would like to see happening in every game.

It was a shoulder barge. His left arm was down with shoulder forward.

This tackle will be on World Rugby's framework for identifying a shoulder charge not too long from now - textbook shoulder charge

Yes 50 50 shoulder charge but 14 green does jump into and towards the tackle. IF you want to yellow 13 gold you also need to yellow 14 green.

That was awesome, that's was the best biggest bump/tackle of all time in rugby games

Springboks fans: illegal hit Rest of the world: great hit

Fijian power 💪🇫🇯

Honestly, for effort and result it's one of the best cover tackles I've seen

Winger still be icing the bruises. Heavy duty

Mapimpi paused slightly, put the brakes on, Koroibete had his number all the way. MAGNIFICENT Rugby.

Lovely to watch guys. Keep up the posts and go wallabies 👍

Legacy Tackle- Next game watch out! The SA spirit will be strong.

The way Mapimpi withstands that dangerous and illegal tackle is amazing!!

Nigel Owens: “I have looked at it many times and I’m finding it difficult to see this as anything but an illegal tackle by Koroibete. To me, he leads with his shoulder and his arm is tucked down by his side. There’s not an attempt to wrap."

Marika is the Salah of Rugby,cant wait for the world cup

MAPIMPI DONE FLIPPIN WELL

Rest of the world: illegal hit Aussie fans: great hit Nigel Owens (former international rugby referee): illegal hit

Tackle of the year 👏

Thank you very much to all rugby supporters with rugby brains and commonsense that saw that tackle as RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS. RED CARD. Penalty try, 4 Week Ban. Finish and Klaar. Baie Dankie.

Who saw the next Game

Tackle of the decade right there

Is this the game where Nick White had her moustache ruffled?

From Nigel Owens (former international rugby referee) "I have looked at it many times and I’m finding it difficult to see this as anything but an illegal tackle by Koroibete.

The fact that the ball carrier decides to jumped close to the try line leaves every defender to be responsible for their safety yet same time trying to prevent a try. This rule should be changed since the ball carrier decides to jump despite the risks.

Mpimpi gets illegally bowled over by what's his name, and then gets up and does the lord of the dance. Anyone else would have been a life insurance policy claim.

Aussy fan: genious hit bock fan: Incredible try penalty... Lavanini: my turn

I would not have wanted to be Mapimpi 😂

I have seen bankrobberies more legal than that tackle

Nonsense...that wasn't a tackle...that is something you do in Ice Hockey - a Body Check!!!!

- Clear shoulder charge - Legs went above the horizontal - Landed on his head Same story with the Farrell tackle on Esterhuizen. What happened to player welfare? Is it time to launch a criminal investigation against World Rugby?

Korobete always has that shoulder first with opposite arm wrap motion with no real intention to wrap. It's a loophole and so the tackle is indeed legal under the current laws.

No arms tackle.Marike should have been penalised,but of course,what can one expect from a referee who have yellow carded Faf on the theatricals of White.Nigel Owens sums it up correctly when saying it deserved nothing more than a penalty,as the facial contact was unintentional,and which should have been turned around against White,who by his conduct and hysteric outburst brings the game of rugby into dispute.There must always and without exception be a doofus of a ref in the mix whenever the Bokke play internationals down under,should it be against Oz or NZ.

This is the tackle of the decade.

Legend

Was this a penalty try?! Ive been hearing this a lot so just an honest question.

For the shoulder charge experts try and wrap your arms around something when your going 100 miles an hour...

Where was marika tonight eish 😂

Poor wing play, Mapimpi needed to hold his depth to run on to the ball, not get the ball flat footed, would’ve beaten the cover defence to score in the corner

how to make 20 million bokkes cry,great tackle and he did use his arms, left hand was behind mapimpis leg, pretty easy to see, dont know why the bok fans are crying,well yes i do, they solb lost sob and sob its the sob refs fault, lol, same old sameold

If My pimp e didn’t try to jump over him I reckon he would’ve knocked out marika. Speed and force smashing to marika with the way he came in for the tackle sheeesh head on the wrong side bro

How So What If Mampimpi Fell On His Neck It Should Have Been A Yellow Card And Penalty Try Shoulder Chargeing Someone With No Arms Is A Yellow Card Now People Saying Great Tackle He Could Have Fallen On His Neck He Shoulder Charged Him

No arms.

THERE WAS NO ARMS

ooh - i didnt watch the match, or care for either team, but virgin mary mother of god how was that allowed?? That is criminal. Whats the point of this endless faffing about dangerous play if this is allowed? Its 100% pure shoulder charge, and possibly more dangerous to the tackler. Allow that tackle 100x and you will have couple ball carriers and perhaps a good dozen tacklers paralysed.

Rugby aus? Why ymare you bragging about this no arm tackle? You sure you saw the game?

Sorry but that's not a legal tackle.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 late brake

Ironical the sa lost that gsme bec off many other errors to,and the next game won and was ready for the same and mapimpi got yellowed for touched his face and the cherry on the cake is he tackle same ellegal tackle the next game vs nz,and the 27 cherrys on 20 cakes is he didnt got even a penalty,this one was supposed to be yellow and a penalty try to sa....so they wait untill he brakes someone back then maybe do something,meanwhile others got yellows ect for less dangerous legal tackles and his supporters praised him everyweek for his oustanding work to do ellegal no arms hight lift people into the air tackles...if any other player done that they was banned by now...he didnt even got a warning...

The reaction from boks fans is the reason rugby is becoming a dead sport.. big hits cant even be celebrated

We should all be making rugby safer especially for younger players. Such tackles should not really be promoted in “modern” rugby. Younger players might adopt such tackle techniques and injure themselves and others. Responsibility for safety must be prioritised.

Illegal tackle. No arms. Penalty try, 99 out if 100 times, except in this game. Love Marika a lot as a player, but this was a no-arms tackle.

This is not a tackle. This is stupidity.

PERFECTLY LEGAL ITS NOT SOCCER!

Reckless and dangerous out of every replay angle. Definitely a try saving effort But illegal.

Just a shame he couldn't repeat it today, put back in his place

If you wanna show your players what commitment looks like show them this!

Absolutely funny how everyone is reacting to the Koroibete tackle as hard and legal rugby but no one is talking about Nic White's little acting performance...

and then we got our revenge in the next match - not even your own coach want to be your coach, he'd rather go chill in Japan hahahahhaah

Very hard to synch your arms with the hit at that speed. Great selfless effort in my opinion. Wasn't trying to kill him, just wanted to stop the try.

This is not a shoulder charge. Look at the rules and fundamental movements of a rugby tackle. All of you snowflakes that think this is illegal are fooling yourselves

From a penal colony nation everything will be passed off as legal.

😢Poor Aussies 😂

Illegal

He jumped into the tackle and so the tackler failed to wrap. The runner needs to take some responsibility as well.

Smashed his ass
