Hoskins Sotutu has been handed a three-week ban, which can reduce to two with a stint at tackle school, for a dangerous tackle in the Blues Super Rugby win over the Hurricanes in Wellington.
The number eight was shown a red-card for shoulder-to-head contact on loose forward Peter Lakai.
Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.

Darcy water grows here. Hey Darcy, Hi Ryan, good to
see you. Now, what's going on with Blues Hoskins two two?
He's copped? Is it a two or three week band
or we're not sure?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, it starts off at six and then they just
go backwards until they're happy. And so normally what they
do is they chop it in half and go mitigating circumstances.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
And in this case it's true because Peter, like.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I kind of adjusted where it was running, so he
kind of ran straight to his head.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Get that. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
He's got a really good discipline record. So they're not
going to If it was a recidivius, they probably lay
into them more. And then they come down to that,
what we're going to have it three weeks? And then
they go, you know what if we go to tackle school,
which is this ridiculous concept thrown up by World Rugby,
you know, teach how to tackle properly like professional athletes
don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Right, Well, hang on you, we'll take another week off.
We'll take another week off.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Who runs tackling school.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Someone on a mortar board, one of those flat hats
and a big cape. It sounds insane to me. The
athletes know, we don't want to know. When you transgress,
they take you to one side.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
You be to go to tackle school.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Don't what twas pass for tackle score?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
One hundred percent? From what I.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Believe, everyone graduates.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Just another reasons like don't you should do it, learn,
but don't make it as part of what you do
when you take away that week. The thing is, what
it means is that the big fil is back for
the Crusaders match in three weeks time, which is always
a massive match Blues the Crusaders, so the Crusaders fans damn.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
But there you go, there you go. Hey, what's happening
with this Indian politician inserting himself into sports herself herself?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So ray Chama Indian cricket captain, this politician from the
Congress Party, which is the opposition over in India. I
believe Shama Mohammad tweeted needs need to lose weight and
of course the most unimpressive captain India has ever had.
So that got deleted pretty fast when the party found
(01:52):
out of us. You kind I can't say that you
know a lot, not a lot of subtlety in that
she's come out and said, look, I felt he was overweight.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So I tweeted, numbing attacked for no reason? Well, no,
you kind of Ah, maybe it's different in India.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Maybe I know the people out there would say, who
if that was well, it doesn't matter. Does it actually
matter if someone's carrying extra bound Can they hit runs?
Can they take catches when they traverse the terror?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Firmation? Does he was captain? He bats?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
He bats?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I can stand there and just smash it to the boundary.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And there is a lot of standing because if you're
if you're you know, catching the ball, if you're fielding,
then you need to run. You know, A weight would
be an issue.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, but if you can do it and you've got
a great record, who cares? And I think you'd find
that in cricket. It's littered with guys that are probably.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Carrying a bit much. It's famous for it, it's true,
you know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But a politician coming out and climbing into the Indian
captain because they've had a pie, I just find it
bizarre And it's a biggest story and I hope to
talk about that up after seven o'clock around.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The I suppose the ancient figures.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You look at BMI and if if you do that,
you look at say Tom Walsh our shot put it,
you'd say he's obese. You know that's wrong. It doesn't
actually matter in so many levels. So is it still
a thing? I'm looking at you?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's able to tell you on it, to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He knows a wee bit about that, the health behind
losing so much weight. Why are we so fixated on it?
You notice a lot of women's sport, women's cricket, women's rugby,
they don't put weight now in their vital statistics. They
put their height, but not their weight. And now it's
starting to happen a lot of men's sport too.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But that's quite that's a relevant and significant statistic. If
you're particularly you're talking about a scrum, I would have
thought that way.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Maybe in that the case in cricket, is it relevant?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I suppose you've got to look at what sports becomes relevant.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They don't put the weight up for cricket players, do.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They on you know? Though not on the screen. They don't.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But again it comes down to you, are we caught
in this archaic concept of how tall you are and
how much you're carrying doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Potentially, but I think I have it on our bios
relevant well, no.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Darcy water Grave one hundred and seventy six seeing med
in seventy five kg ringing week.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The only metric, the only metric they worry about with
us is words per minute?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Oh really, how quickly can you talk? You know?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Interesting? Interesting? So what's you know? What's happened? Is he
Sidney thing? Or is she no?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The b c C.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I've come out and said, come on, really, we're on
the verge of a semi final. You're doing this. Be
quite politicians. He shooting over the mouth.
