Watch: Tongan schoolboy hurdles Australian defender

01 Oct 2018

Tongan Hurdler cover

Tongan schoolboy winger Sione Osika pulled off a daring display of athleticism during the match between the Tongan Schoolboys and Australian Schoolboys in Brisbane.

In a match with little to write home about for the Tongans, Osika hurdles a defender in a stunning, but illegal maneuver, over an Australian defender.

The Tongan schoolboy apparently has pulled this off before, in a club match earlier this year where he tried to hurdle two defenders in a long run that ended in a try.

Many Springboks fans are saying same thing about the Lions

Unfortunately as an Aussie, I only foresee further decline for the sport in Aus. The AFL and NRL are both looking to expand and are both as wealthy as ever. Any bit of talent is going to be eaten up by those behemoths and what will be left over for Aus rugby is likely going to be not much better then the talent we currently have, which is substandard.

Andy Goode: Aussie comments didn't cover them in glory

As an Australian, I can cop the loss, they were just too good the Lions. They probably werent ready mentally for what Aus threw at them but credit to them, they come back beautifully. It was a great performance by the Wallabies and hopefully that will endear themselves to the Aussie public after a long streak of poor results.

Andy Goode: Aussie comments didn't cover them in glory

No they wouldnt you tool, were you even alive in 2005? This Lions squad is one of the strongest Ive ever seen and they would seriously challenge the Boks and All Blacks as evidenced by their last tours. Dont talk rubbish son.

Andy Goode: Aussie comments didn't cover them in glory

Even Martin Johnson admitted that Morgan’s cleanout might have been a penalty in minute one, but not in minute 80, given it would decide the test (and series). I don’t get that. If it’s a penalty, it’s a penalty, no matter the timing. Its does seem that, after the debacle of the last few minutes in 2017, when there was a clear off-side by the Lions, giving a game and series winning penalty to the All Blacks right in front of the sticks, that the rugby powers have decided that the Lions cannot lose. That’s okay, but please let the fans know before they waste their money watching what is supposed to be an even playing field.

'Gutted' Joe Schmidt makes feelings clear over match-deciding call

Rules dont work that way. Its a bit like driving - Tizzano was there first, and has right of way. If he cant be moved legally, he cant be moved and he wins the penalty.

Many Springboks fans are saying same thing about the Lions

The boks played 3 easy games to start the year off and struggled to beat a unproven All Blacks team with new coaching staff at home. Nobody knows how they are going to play this year as they haven’t had a proper challenge yet.

'Gutted' Joe Schmidt makes feelings clear over match-deciding call

If you listen to the ref the contact is a “rugby collision” because they arrive at the ball instantaneously with his eye (along with other refs) but if Morgan is a sec later that is def a penalty on the “contact” but was unavoidable due to both players going down to the collision at same time , now in your eye who was there first?

Andy Goode: Aussie comments didn't cover them in glory

Everybody knows that if the Wallabies won in similar circumstances, all those UK journalists and former players would be throwing their toys out of the cot and crying like babies. So don’t act holier than thou.

And this is an A+ 9.5/10 Lions team with world-class depth made up of multiple standout players in every single position. On paper they should absolutely flog the bajeezus out of the woeful Wallabies and so far they’ve been barely above average in the two tests.

With you on this “instantaneous “ even live I saw Tizzano there first and at the ball easy, Morgan gets there 1 sec later and we not even having this argument as he does hit him on the neck, Joes “gutted” but I don’t think he is upset reckon he is bloody proud

Michael Hooper weighs in on Jac Morgan clear-out

Huh. That's interesting. So how do any of the other 29 players who were cleared out like that during the match manage to get right back up and keep on going. Weird it affected him so badly at that specific time, when Aus really needed a penalty. Very peculiar indeed!

Would Rassie have bookended it with ? “ players make errors officials make errors we just have to accept that “ if he said exactly what Joe has Rassie would be in exactly the same position nothing to answer for, Joe was clear on his opinion but ultimately spoke little about it, all in all with the different aspects of the clean out the decision comes down to one thing was it instantaneous? If Morgan did the same thing 1 second later that is def a penalty
