This had awful shades of the 2005 spear tackle on Brian O'Driscoll.

Less than 10 minutes into Ireland's match with the All Blacks, in Chicago, and Joe Moody should have been sent off. The New Zealand prop lifted Robbie Henshaw as he attempted to carry out of his half and planted him head-first onto the Soldier Field turf. https://twitter.com/eirSport/status/794996630844043264 There was outrage in the ground, and online, and replays did not help Moody at all. And yet French referee, Mathieu Raynal, perhaps conscious of the occasion or unwilling to make a big call, only showed a yellow card. There was understandable outrage to the iffy refereeing call online. https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/794996912881541125 https://twitter.com/LukeMurray94/status/794996304900399104 https://twitter.com/robwoollard_afp/status/794996122934738944 https://twitter.com/utahmoe/status/794996093146628096 And this piece of insight... https://twitter.com/calderian/status/794996689019011074 Who are the winners of the much-coveted 2016 Wooly Awards?
