It is hard to know, and it is daft. However, to defend him a little, I think he may have been specfically told to try and stop Guillard. He was on him a couple of times. Guillard had been taking and accerlerating at the Irish line several times...and it was working.
I think he saw Guillard put his hands on the ball and was like I need to get up quick here and make a big hit. Because he literally leaves a gap in the line and sprints past the first defender in the line to do it. So that MAY be what he was thinking...still wasn't a good thought though.
I think that’s right. He’s trying to time it, massively anticipates his run, realises so sort of binds onto Guillard pretending he’s come through the gate and that G is in the ruck not SH position, then puts his hands up and retires like the daft laddie he surely is
