[RWC2023] Japan vs Chile (10/09/2023)

[Bluemoon]

That has to be a red if Curry's was a red.

I cant agree that we can compare the two. Completely different circumstances, the ball carrier was in the air with Curry for a start. We've all got to stop comparing and look at the individual circumstances as per the framework.

 

[SG59_]

I feel that's a red too. No intention, but badly timed again.

That's fair.

Would have said Pen to chile there in my opinion

 

[Astrodragon]

If the refs are going to punish accidental collisions with red cards, and ruin the game, why are they not making the players wear something like a scrum cap to protect themselves and reduce the need to punish a non-egrevious offence??

 

[Which Tyler]

Because scrum caps don't protect anyone from concussive injuries?
If anything, they increase the risk, through a false sense of security.

It doesnt have to be a current scrum cap, I said something like, modified to reduce the chance of a concussive injury

 

[Which Tyler]

OK, so you want them to wear future tech?
Let me know when you've got a time machine then

 

[TommiG88]

Strangely this one has been kept as a yellow

 

[die_mole]

I can see it as he was more receptive in the tackle. Still would have thought it was a red.

 

[die_mole]

Blatant

 

[SG59_]

By how they're playing, you would think Japan were down a man. Before the yellow.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Said it before but the Chilean fullback is great

 

[Summer Rose]

What a try!

 

[SG59_]

Love how fast Japan are on the attack.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Relentless pressure, it was going to crack eventually

 

[die_mole]

Said it before but the Chilean fullback is great

He briefly played for Bayonne but is now in prod2

 

[Summer Rose]

What a great match this has been!

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm sad that I have to leave my house just before this match is over.

This literally doesnt and wont exist in the forseeable future. The NFL wich has unthinkable amounts of more money has been pumping money into this, and the best thing they came up with was something that marginaly imporved outcomes while wearing a helmet!

just have to accept rugby is a risky game, try your best to mitigate risks, inform everybody of the risks, and if they want to play then that is fine.
