Tbh the Aussies were actually saying that it was fine...just that it was no different to Hodge. They're pretty salty about Hodge.
Can't say I'd disagree, in all honesty.

Need to see other angles but I can see him copping a ban for that. Francis isn't important to England plans to the extent he'll be lucky to be in the bench so *shrugs shoulders*https://mobile.twitter.com/Jack_Quigley/status/1177174134091993094

It's really not as bad as Hodge (arms up, slightly lower, ball carrier dipping) but it's high and deserving of a red and a ban.
More like th first Samoan shoulda-been-red
I obviously need to see the Hodge one again then.Both of hodges arms were up. And both these tackles at comparable heights (players relative to each other).

Started watching after 10 mins, how did the match officials miss that. At the very least the TMO should have called the ref's attention to it. Other than that I thought the officials had a reasonable game.https://mobile.twitter.com/Jack_Quigley/status/1177174134091993094

Even more worried now, what actually happened? Didn't see who went through on him. No replay so must have been bad.
Hope he's okay and makes full recovery.
If we look at the IRB protocols for high tackles the issue of wrapping the arms is not the issue, first contact of the tacklers head/shoulders to the ball carriers head neck is the focal point at the moment of initial contact and the degree of danger involved. If cited I'll be very surprised if no action is taken. There is a degree of mitigation in that the ball carrier is in a downward motion from collecting the high ball so at most, if dealt with on the field, it would have been yellow.Sideline camera angle shows it best - arm clearly up and attempting to wrap.
Heads and shoulders both at pretty much the same height.
Red all day long, how that can be the first of the WC really amazes me.
for those who think Faz got a taste of his own medicine, he doesn't usually put his shoulder into oppositions head to me this is what makes it far more dangerous, not that it's justifs Faz tackling at times, there is however a difference....

Hate to be pedantic about Farrell but, if I can refer you to the last S Africa game with 82.55 on the clock, right shoulder clearly aimed high and with his own head turned away neglecting any duty of care in the tackle. Farrell is a world star and a very good player, unfortunately his tackle technique is seriously questionable and as he frequently goes for the big hit his luck wont last forever. Either he'll get a red or someone will take exception to his conduct in the tackle area itself and take the appropriate action. Farrell makes not secret of playing very close to the lines in terms of legitimacy in an attempt to physically dominate opponents.

Mainly the understanding that rugby is an outdoor sport.In doors all seem to be struggling with the handling.Things to work on.
