[QUOTE="Smurfy, post: 1079273, member: 85743"] I think that’s the case. I think the clip that’s posted there is a bit misleading in that with a wider view you can see Baird is all but staionary and doesn’t generate any force in the collision. I was surprised that it wasn’t brought to the refs attention at the time, but I think it was never more than a potential yellow. I also think, as I said earlier in the thread, that the ref ignored/missed the mitigation in the Italian red that Sheehan definitely, albeit slightly, dipped into the tackle. I’m not going to even attempt to defend the nonsense that followed on from that, other than to say I’m not sure how World Rugby can address the problem. If you scrap the law you are opening the doors to the abuses we saw in the past, and you can’t put refs in the position of deciding if the loss of front rowers is genuine or a tactic to negate the oppositions scrum dominance. Whatever they decide they need to do it quickly. [/QUOTE]
