Andy Goode high tackle on Brian O'Driscoll

BY Grant Constable · Sunday Jan 20, 2008

The second of the big incidents in the Leicester vs Leinster game, this high tackle sparked a scuffle that had players running from all over to join.

Andy Goode almost took Brian O’Driscoll’s head off with this high clothes line and then followed it up by trying to plant the Irishman’s head into the Welford Road turf.

I have no idea what sparked this. Strange for a player to dish out a high tackle and then attack the guy he just nailed.

Goode gets his deserved Yellow Card which causes his team to be down to 13 players temporarily, after the Julian White punch .
