  • Bit harsh

    ?

    He lead with his shoulder and made no attempt to wrap his arms. Then made contact with another players head it could only ever be a red.

    The guidance referees are given is made available to top flight players who are briefed on it endlessly. Intention is not considered and the fact he was tackling like that and hit an opposition player in the head means the ref has no option.

  • Now seen the reverse angle (not shown in stadium) and fair enough. No mitigation allowed for no ‘wrap’.

  • That and he threw his shoulder in. Was impressed by him going out of his way to apologise to George North on his way off the pitch.
