England vs Wales - 12/08/23

[TopTen2003]

An absolute farce and stinks of corruption. As an Englishman I am embarrassed.

Plus we now have to have him stagnate our entire game with pre mediated second phase kick chase.

Eurgh.

Oh look, more jokes.

England captain Farrell's red card overturned

England captain Owen Farrell is clear to play in the World Cup after his red card in Saturday's warm-up with Wales is overturned.

Is it racist to say there should not be an all Australian panel for a hearing on high shots?

If I were to wear a tin foil hat I'd say there'd be no better panel to clear a big name before a World Cup.

 

[ncurd]

That has to be the most insane decision I've ever heard from a disciplinary panel.

Makes a complete mockery of them and whole bunker system first time it's used.

 

[ncurd]

It a ******* joke and a disgrace.

Farrell and Sexton most likely the MPV's of rugby to these people.

In the world cup, players will be receiving more red cards for much less dangerous tackles.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Some kangaroo court, that.

This is a farce. Is there any appeals or any intervening that can take place?

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

As a rugbymad Irishman living in England, nobody that I spoke with since Sunday thought it was anything other than a red card. It was even suggested that the ref had bottled it by sending it for review. This shows how weak the commitment to player welfare really is. I can only assume that World Rugby are terrified that if England fails to get out of the group, viewing figures and future potential revenue will be affected….. I despair.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Amusing that the panel that overturned the red card were all Australian. Almost as if they wanted Farrell to be in the England team.

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

As a youth coach, if I saw a player coming back on to the field after half time having been sent off for a shoulder to the head, I'd withdraw my team on safety grounds….

 

[MattGaff]

Maybe the Aussies have played a blinder by keeping Farrell in the team????

In all seriousness, the most farcical decision I've ever seen come out of this sport. Absolute joke today. Disgraceful

 

[saulan]

Probability of Rassie reposting or hinting at this? (From when Esterhuizen received a similar tackle from Farrell in '18)

Why would he appeal? The panel found in his favour.

Joke's on them, they'll have Arg in the QFs while our white dorks on Altoids are on the ferry home

Not from him, from World Rugby saying "No, no, take a look at that again" or from another union. I recall once before World Rugby stepping in after a decision was made, but I can't recall the case/situation.

Gotta imagine they will - it's a genuinely mad decision from the panel, they can't be seen to be endorsing it
