VIDEO: Will this tackle cost Haskell a Six Nations spot?

By
Saturday 13 Jan 2018

Haskell is now in danger of missing the start of England's Six Nations title defence.

Haskell was shown a red card by referee Roman Poite in the 75th minute for a shoulder-led high tackle on Roberts and in his absence, James Chisholm crossed for the try that settled a remarkable clash at Twickenham Stoop.

Cruising to a bonus point victory, Wasps were leading 28-12 with 20 minutes remaining. Yet, two tries in five minutes for Quins' set it up for a nervy finish for their counterparts who still needed a victory to keep their European Champions Cup ambitions afloat.

With five minutes remaining and deep in their own half, Quins' looked to move the ball out wide and counter-attack, but in their process of moving the ball through the hands, Haskell lined up Roberts for a big hit, carelessly and recklessly smashing Roberts in the neck and head. It made for extremely grim viewing.
