???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What is THIS GAME THESE DAYS?????????????????????????????

Think there might be an issue with your keyboard mate.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Can see arguments both for YC and RC.
YC for me.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Think there might be an issue with your keyboard mate.

Think my issue would be these awful interpretation of the rules and what is being shown LIVE on screen.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Letter of the law that's the right call.

Force to the head. Not much to argue about

Must be a bad batch that got sent down there. Saw a lot of kiwi's with the same problems.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Little elbow and strike from cane there?

 

[GoTheNaki]

Yeah lets just enable people to be able to fall over into a "high tackle" and get people carded, true show of integrity in this game these days. Clearly falling over, clearly, but lets red card an unintentional play on a falling player.

If he fell over that would have been a mitigation wouldn't it? That's in the laws already

Was he standing up?

A New Zealand supporter complaining about the referee

In American football when a player gets kicked out they have to go to the locker room, they can't stay on the sidelines with their teammates. There's no Walk of Shame in rugby.

Yeah he was standing up boys...

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Was he standing up?

He was running. It's on the tackler to prepare for the normal dip and rise of the ball carrier. People don't run into contact at full extension, you'd be massacred

 

[Seeker]

There's a lot of cauliflower ears on the pitch tonight. They gross me out.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Has to be red in fairness.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Sam Whitelocks legs are literally bent............... But alright.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Yeah probably a red

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Arguably the most important thing about the laws of the game is that they are consistently applied to all parties. Rest are details.

 

[Ospervat]

As long as the ref is consistent.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Either every single accidental head high, contact with shoulder to face is a red... How many you reckon happen each game? Or none of them are. Neither of those have intent, both players dropping from regular position, both accidents, get on, its RUGBY.
