[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1158497, member: 56232"] Where in the laws does it say the sanction for a deliberate knock on is a yellow card? [URL]https://www.world.rugby/the-game/laws/law/11[/URL] The widely accepted standard is that it is a yellow card if the deliberate knock on prevented a clear break or a try scoring opportunity. This isn't just for knock ons but any cynical play. Had Farrell not been there, the ball was going behind the Fijian player and would have simply landed on the ground. There is no case to be made that Fiji would have gained a significant advantage had the knock on not occurred. That is why there was no yellow. The rationale is also not unheard of, sorry but that is complete bullshit. This situation happens multiple times a year, frequently without any cards. [/QUOTE]
