[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 593060, member: 20605"] At lower grass-roots levels (club/schoolboy rugby etc), if I saw any player do what BDP did to Messam, its a straight red! At elite level, yellow is probably enough. We had a young guy in our local competition some time back who insisted on fending with his forearm/elbow to the face of opponents. First game of the season he was warned twice by the referee that he will get himself sent off if he makes serious contact with an opponent's head. He ignored the warning and a few minutes later, sure enough, he elbowed a player in the face and broke his nose. Red card + two weeks. A few minutes into his first game back, he did it again. Red card and four weeks. First game back after that was fine, but the next game, you guessed it, he did it again and cracked the tackler's cheekbone. Red card and banned for the rest of that season. Some people just don't learn. [/QUOTE]
