Premiership 24/25 - Round 10

[Which Tyler]

I hate that that's not an HIA for Lawrence.
The point is to assess the head injury

Arse

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So dumb from Underhill, ref over him shouting no

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

We didn't need to play silly buggers at the rucks. Their SH was off, all we had to do was pressure the stand in one...

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What a game of rugby.

 

[TommiG88]

Bath's squad is disgustingly deep when they can bring on a pack that would be close to first team of another team

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Brilliant game

How long until a 7-1 bench will be banned? Just feels you're able to run the big guys into the ground, meaning you're getting massive hits throughout the game.

Could be red


Edit: Yellow is ok on those replays, actually

If this is Mitchell's YC, I agree but damn I thought it was going to be Lawrence with a broken jaw and Mitchell banned for Ireland.

To expand.
IMO, if head contact is severe enough to see a red card, it should be an automatic Red Card HIA (for both, if it's head on head).
If a player stops play due to head contact (eg today), I'd take that as the player requesting an HIA.

IMO Mitchell should have been penalty at worst - he was trying to pull out of the tackle as he realised he couldn't complete it legally - which is exactly the behaviour we WANT to see.

Literally never, its nonsense clickbait and that is it.

It works well occasionally, but a couple of backs injuries and you are f'd

I kind of agree I mean a player stopping while running after being hit in the head says there's and issue and from a safety/welfare point of view I get it fully.

But some times being hit in the face just really ******* hurts and you need to stop, like a punch to the ribs, doesn't mean there is a need for a HIA

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Head impact = HIA

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Head jolt also = HIA from my understanding as well

Incredible stats. What more can the guy do state his case for test rugby?

Yeah, but how many line outs did he win?

With the progress of the Willis boys, AOF, IFW and others over the last couple of years it does make you wonder how good that last Wasps team could have become. Barbeary, Filisau, Oghre and Hartley may all be in the national conversation at some point while they also had established talents like Launchbury, Koch, Hougaard and Robson. Plus coached by Blackett. We'll never know.

That's post of the year sorted.
