Coles tackle was thuggish and he was lucky to stay on the park.

Total c**t of a tackle, especially the continuation with the other foot.

 
That tackle was awful. Interesting that the penalty wasn't given, yet the ref was still aware of the tackle and booked him. I don't understand that if the ball was dead and the tackle was made, it wouldn't be a penalty (as the commentators were suggesting). Anyone know the definitive rule behind that?
