If it's had been later in the match I think he definitely would have been shown a red card , personally I was expecting a red card . To me it doesn't really make any difference a red card offence is a red cardboard no matter what stage of the game it is . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definite red for me, I know he landed on his back and that was what the ref cited as mitigation for giving a yellow, but that was purely down to luck, it was a very dangerous tackle as the TMO was trying to persuade him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the yellow card challenge for anybody that missed it earlier, I don't see anything except a red for that tbh. He might land back first, but his head whacks off the ground too.

He might land back first, but his head whacks off the ground too. In effect, Geoff Cross was given a retrospective red for something similar. Finn Russell got a retrospective red for far, far less. I didn’t hear the commentary but I guess the ref gave the guy credit for trying to pull out, albeit far too late? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the thing, the ref agreed that the 7 was never in any position to challenge for the ball, but the fact that the 9 landed on his back was enough mitigation in his view to make it only a yellow. Commentators thought he was very lucky to get a yellow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been red if Garces or Poite had been officiating with the additional comment of "very dangerous" from Poite who thinks that a normal tackle is dangerous. 24 minutes ago, ajwffc said: The training that South African refs are geting from Craig Joubert are paying off Joubert would have ignored it and given a penalty the other way before sprinting off the park claiming that he desperately needed to take a massive shit. Not that I'm implying that the corrupt fucker had tried that excuse before... Edited March 14, 2020 by Allan Jacobsen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the last game of rugby you will see for quite some time and some cracking tries. Seemed to be quite a vocal crowd for behind closed doors right enough. Highlights up on the SRU's Youtube.

Don't get me started. Our line outs vs Ireland and England were the worst I have ever watched in my lifetime. We scrummed well and improved as the competition went on and I am miffed we didn't get the chance to play Wales as I fancied us. So "Toonie oot"? What's your take? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your take?It was obviously a much improved performance against France, even before the red card, but the last year or so has been very hit and miss. If we had gone to Cardiff and shat the bed as we often do, then his time was up for me.We seem to have found a bit of pragmatism lately that has been missing for a while. It's as if they have suddenly realised that you have to defend for big parts of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
