So we should stop worrying and accept it?Head impacts are part and parcel of rugby and always will be.
Too many nuances for me.Yellow, didnt fly in and smash a player in the face with alot of force yet he did clear him out illegally.
Learn the laws please
I'm sorry, must be something wrong with the way I'm seeing it ,but that didn't deserve red !
I switched the tv off as soon as I saw the card coming out of the refs pocket,another match ruined.
An unnamed Australian rugby podcast started *****ing about how the game was ruined with cards and penalties. Tweeted at them the stats that showed them cards and penalties are way down but australia are committing penalties and cardable offenses at a much higher rate. They had to find a new bogey man for why oz rugby is so bad.Probably worth pointing out that France have had 1 card (red) and Ireland two cards (yellows) all year so far. Two teams that have had great success in the contact area are doing so in a fashion that they aren't giving up penalties and cards.
Cards aren't ruining games, poor play and lousy coaching are.
Not a fair comparison. Johnny's jedi mind tricks strike fear in the hearts and souls of refs.Ireland two cards (yellows)
