England vs Wales - 12/08/23

Is it racist to say there should not be an all Australian panel for a hearing on high shots?
 
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.
 
This is a farce. Is there any appeals or any intervening that can take place?
 
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.
 
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
 
Probability of Rassie reposting or hinting at this? (From when Esterhuizen received a similar tackle from Farrell in '18)
 
Amusing that the panel that overturned the red card were all Australian. Almost as if they wanted Farrell to be in the England team.
Joke's on them, they'll have Arg in the QFs while our white dorks on Altoids are on the ferry home
 
Why would he appeal? The panel found in his favour.
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
