THERE IS NO doubt that one of the main talking points in GAA over the past few weeks has been cynical fouling, with Tyrone’s Sean Cavanagh in particular coming under the spotlight.
In the video below, Mark McHugh and Conor McManus suggest that the plan to give a black card to players who engage in cynical fouling “won’t stop it,” adding that a red card would be a far more effective punishment.
Check out the clip below and let us know your thoughts on the issue.

@Graham Young: theres always one.
@Chris Mc: Ah lighten up Chris. I’m sure Sean would find it funny.
@Rocky Raccoon: in fairness it was funny.
@Chris Mc: 220 seem to agree with the one!
@Graham Young: nasty
Legend of the game best of luck in the future Sean
@Patrick Kehoe: The tracks have come off the “Tullow Tank” A great player
Favourite player growing up. One of the reasons I got it into rugby. I feel like he Revolutionised the backrow position.
@Harry O’Callaghan: Same here amazingly. There was so much he brought to the game that made him a pleasure to watch. All the best to him in retirement.
@Harry O’Callaghan: In his pomp, ball in hand and getting a head of steam up ,it just was so unfair to the opposition, he blew them away Lomuesque. Thanks for the memories SOB
Enjoy your retirement old chap
A proper animal
Can’t remember the game exactly , I think vs France , he cleared 2 players out of a ruck in a ridiculous display of power and timing, such an athlete!!!
@David Abbott: found it

@David Abbott: There was 3 players in that pile he moved so effortlessly.
Two of the players are in the ruck sideways, i.e. in a weak position to withstand lateral force, and the third pulls away. Also, there’s the question of a potentially dangerous landing.
@bread of heaven: Did you only start looking at rugby yesterday?
@bread of heaven: You really are poisonous.
@bread of heaven: bitter taste off that heavenly bread SOB is recognised as a legend wirldwide. It’s a super clearout adn legal even by today’s standards.
You’re a legend between you and your keyboard.
Proper world-class. If you ever make an all-time Ireland 15, he’s right up there.
Absolute legend. Wishing you well in retirement and on the farm in Carlow Sean :)
Always remember the game v Australia in RWC 2011 / think the Aussies only thought they had to turn up to win. Pretty much the whole Irish team played out of their skins that night but specifically remember SOB being in the Aussies’ faces / refusing to take a backward step. Brilliant servant to the cause / best of luck with retirement.
Absolute wrecking ball of a player! Go well in retirement!
Legend. I remember when Rocky left thinking Leinster will never have a player like him again and then along comes an young Irish kid that looked like he could be even better than Rocky. Unreal player.
Retirement party in cassidys no need for toilets
Wasn’t Sean affectionately nicknamed ‘The Tullow Tank’
I used to love reading his stats , absolute beast of man in defence and a bulldozer in the carry . Shame he got injured so much . He’ll always be remembered in Ireland as one of the greats . Good luck farming Sean .
Swatting away Ben young’s was enjoyable, seriously good player

Well pissed about that news.
An absolute beast of a rugby player who preferred running through or over the opposition defence rather than around it which he was also very capable of doing.
