Wasted by having Townsend as coach…

That’s a fucking ridiculous take

Hope there’s not more incidents for you to cry about 😜😂

Last reply - if you believe that’s a red, every ruck and tackle will be stopped to be a penalty or otherwise, maybe Rugby isn’t for you…

If they believed it to be red they would’ve given it immediately, or viewed incident via TMO and discussed it between the 4 members (ref, 2x touch judges, TMO).

Again, never said it was, as I said above there was no intent to tackle player while in air, had there been it would’ve been red, as would spear tackles or going above horizontal… but you know, ref, touch officials, TMO, bunker official all happy with the yellow…

Yes because that’s head contact, show me the head contact between the players?

And who’s in the bunker? A qualified official… my my you are slow

Not what I said, in the interest of player safety HIA should’ve been conducted, it has no bearing on punishment, nasty looking incidents don’t always equal foul play.

What does dictate the outcome is intent (both looking at ball or tackle while in air I.E. Ashman in sco game). Pen & yellow card ✅

I’m also a sports therapist, rehabilitator & first aider for a club so know all about duty of care, just cause an incident looks nasty, doesn’t mean it’s worthy of a penalty or more (hence my HIA comment)

A referee course? Like the officials that agreed the yellow was suffice have been on?

Rugby collision, if he landed on his head, he should also be off for HIA. Intent also matters, both looking ball not knowing either were there. Had he looked at player and deliberately tackled him then yes it’s a red. You sound quite new to rugby.

Never red

Both try scorers as well as great dynamic players, Horne a great kicking option as well if needed. Don’t know what they have to do to be included
