[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 952334, member: 45598"] Recklessness and/or Negligence can provide the mens rea (guilty mind) for a murder conviction, as would be the case in the vast majority of cases like ncurd's example. It's more or less the same with Barrett (negligent and reckless that is!), he's angled himself in such a way that his shoulder is the most exposed it could possibly be and that it's very likely that it'll be the only point of contact with the opposition. Once that point of contact is the head or neck it could only be a red. It's often telling in these arguments that you get comments like "you didn't watch in the 80s", "it wouldn't have been a penalty 10 years ago" and shite like that. We know how common concussions are in rugby and now we know the potential devastating effects of concussions, if anyone can't accept the changes that are resulting because of this they don't belong anywhere in the sport in my opinion because even those opinions from the couch, pub or stand are holding the safety of the sport back.
