This is with two provisos:

1. Our schedule is very easy, which weighs us down a lot
2. There’s a week 1 loss to the raiders who are bad, which pulls us down even further

I understand <generally> more games is more predictive, but anecdotally I’m fine to omit that one, the team is changed.

J’ai fait une Image pour aider

Boks ate them alive in the scrum at Twickenham... but also the Boks

Ahahaha

If you think that's comparable to every ruck and tackle in the game I really do have a link for you:

Now I'm onto the France game, cheerio!

… congratulations, welcome to the discussion

However it’s not fair to say they were content it shouldn’t have been a “20 minute red”, when their decision suggests contentment for _either_ a simple 10 minute yellow _or_ a 20 minute red.

Now regardless of that fact my contention is they’re wrong.

… Ireland aren’t a power team though 😅

Also you’re very much not appreciating genuine Japanese class like Dearns who would make the Irish team

Further I will re-stress because of the deftness with which you evade the word:

Reckless

That challenge was completely reckless.

Danger

That challenge put IFW in complete danger, spinning in the air 1.5m above the ground turned horizontal is not a safe event, even absent malicious intent.

The ref, touch judges, and TMO have *zero* involvement with the decision once it goes to the bunker

It is completely erroneous to say they’re happy with the decision someone makes in a closed room outside when they’ve had no input on it.

Solely you can claim they’re happy with “not a red”

A tad disrespectful, Japan aren’t far off Wales’ level and you wouldn’t expect 50 vs them every time

As in, "Ireland outclassed Japan" eventually

Head contact is not the only way to earn a red card grant my boy!

I'm rather concerned that you are this involved with rugby and live under such an uninformed misconception

Lackluster initially, outclassed eventually, set piece a concern, but never in doubt

This is actually not the case anymore

If you accidentally kick someone in the head, it is still a red card :)

Intent matters, but outcome *also* matters now, hence my use of the word reckless 😁

The referee didn’t look at it again as a matter of fact, he used the bunker as a crutch (as has been repeatedly warned about) instead of making a decision himself.

Whether or not an HIA is caused should not dictate the outcome of an event

We were incredibly lucky with the way IFW fell from that air where he was turned over horizontal, and the action should be justly punished 😁

Grant my dear, he is not in a realistic position to challenge for that ball.

Therefore the challenge is reckless and dangerous.

If you went on the referee course you would know about the duty of care players have, and as such the red card would have been merited.

Enjoy the rest of the game 😁

He wasn't in a realistic position to contest for the ball in the air, and sent the man spinning and tumbling to land on his head

If that's not red then no challenge in the air could be

And yet we still call them summer tours 🤷‍♀️
