Red Cards & HIA
-
@Bones thank you for the Joey Swoll reference. Being implored to do better by a muscle bound gym bro is what the world needs more of.

@Dodge said in Ireland v All Blacks - Chicago2:
I blame world rugby for this lack of clarity, before the last world cup, and in some games in it (particularly in the early rounds) the interpretations were way stricter and mitigations far less regularly applied than we saw in later stages and since.
the fact that people on here are passionate fans who have watched alot of rugby at all levels, and we have differing interpretations of these kinds of incidents kinda sums up the hole that World Rugby have created and seem incapable of getting out of.

@Dodge that's an interesting perspective, thanks. I don't have time to watch a lot of NH rugby, so my impression from the last RWC is that the push for cards for these types of incidents came strongly from the north. And further to that, Ireland themselves have a history of calling for cards for the opposition whenever there is some form of accidental head contact. So to that end, they made their bed, they can lie in it now. If that is changing then that's a good thing, but as we are all saying, the directive from WR has to be crystal clear on this, but right now it's as clear as mud.

@Mauss re the loose forward comparison vs Ireland - the red card has to make a big difference there. The Irish were buggered late in the game, they had to make a lot of tackles as you point out. Also the fact that it was Beirne, who is an extra loose forward for them, and one of their best.
Sititi came on and dominated late - looks like if you take out his carry metres, the Irish had more? So are we really doing the right thing with our starting loosies?That, to me, just comes across as letting the Irish loose forwards off the hook rather easily. Aren’t Jack Conan and Josh Van der Flier both 50-cappers while also being British and Irish Lions? They should be able to lift for 20 minutes with Beirne off the field, after which he could be replaced. That’s not even mentioning another 50-capper on the bench in Caelan Doris.
Again, my intention wasn't to claim that the AB back row is particularly settled: blindside remains an issue while Savea’s eclectic positioning makes any loose forward combination a complex exercise. But, for now at least, there are a few things which are working, and that’s including Sititi’s performances off the bench. After a difficult start it would’ve been easy for a player like Sititi to spiral so the fact that he’s once again putting in performances – even in shorter bursts – is good to see.
It's far from perfect but it's also not quite a disaster either.
I think they did lift for 20 minutes: we certainly weren't able to take advantage. My point is that this extra effort tells late in the game, and I think it means any comparison of loose forward stats has to come with a little caveat. Was it better? Yes in some ways, but...

The mitigation was it was a forward pass
That is a unique excuse. No one else saw it, nor did would it have impacted the tackle situation.
Come on ...
Kelleher asked the ref to look at the pass. Ref didn't.
Beirne wasn't set up to tackle. He was set up to brace for impact from a dummy runner.
Then it changed in an instant and he made head contact in the collision.
It certainly wasn't a tackle.
It also certainly wasnt a forward pass. Was Beirne offside?
Ya what?
No he wasn't offside. It was a forward pass. The two are not related. -
@Dodge said in Ireland v All Blacks - Chicago2:
genuine question - are you saying that in the first shot in that clip you don't see Beirne bounce backwards after the contact? The clip you posted shows pretty clearly from the first angle that Beirne takes three steps back immediately after the contact takes place, it actually also shows that BB actually keeps travelling forwards and spins slightly to the side line. I would argue that's passive in contact, which these days usually provides enough mitigation.
I understand it was upgraded to a 20 min red because of the level of danger, which with a shoulder to the head I can follow the logic, it just seems to fly slightly in the face of what I've seen more recently. Just my twopenneth
Looked to me like Beirne moved towards BB and pushed him away/over. Looked to me that Beirne moved back after pushing him to add momentum.

what are the chances the red card gets rescinded?
It's official, World Rugby is a joke, they need to take a long hard look at things, this does not reflect well on them and thier officials.

@MacDazzler said in Ireland v All Blacks - Chicago2:
Ireland are definitely heading on the downslide with a aging roster and uncertainty at 10.
Although it would be good of them to pull a massive performance out of the hat and get a win against the Boks in a couple of weeks time…..
If they're going to win in a few weeks it's even more important to say they're on a massive slide now!

That's fucking laughable. A clear no arms tackle with a shoulder to the head and no mitigation.

@antipodean I'm more concerned with the fact the TMO had all that time to look at it, made his call and it was deemed wrong.
Does he get sanctioned for that? I mean in terms of his job, that is almighty fuck-up, and as some have said, while we will never know, it has potentially impacted the outcome of the game.
Credibility of the sport continues to fall.

It is a joke. In this case, I thought a YC looked about right, but by the letter of the law and recent interpretation, it should be a RC.
There has to be a system that allows the game to flow with some penalty for the player, but doesn't ruin the event for fans.
I think I've settled on a YC for all of these, with the player replaced after 10 mins.
If you are out of replacements, you can't send another out.
-
As someone who is in favour of no further sanction, and someone who doesn't think the game is best served by that situation being a red card... deeming it an incorrect call is bizarre and means we continue to have no consistency, and have no idea what the rules actually are.

It would be nice if this rule was applied in general.

Tbf, I can think of a range of ways for Rassie et al. to get around this in the interest of 'safety' so it's still a relatively poor idea. I like the fact that rugby has laws and interpretations, but we need to make these easier for regular fans to interact with.
All in all, I think even the YC / RC distinction is hurting us.
Just get them off, have a set penalty, then prevent them from playing future games using a report system that is built for purpose.

He didn't mean to.

Seems like you want something like ice hockey.
Just man advantage power-play team penalties, and ejections and suspensions for individual players.
I like that myself.
In ice hockey and rugby the action is super dynamic (or should be) with a lot of speed and physicality.
Rugby has more in common with that sport, than a sport like soccer.
Yellow and red cards, soccer crap. -
@booboo but he also said sorry didnt he, if that isnt an admission of guilt, I dunno what is!

Hey Beaudie, I’m sorry you got hit with an accidental shoulder as a result of me choosing to be there and my body accidentally leading in without my mind having any intent but the impact still jarred you, but I didn’t know that it would.
All sweet? Yeah no probs.

This is the very concerning thing here.
The incdent has been micro-analysed twice in detail, and the different analysts have come up with different conclusions.
This is not quick, on the spot, call.
WR really does need to explain the reasons why it was rescinded.
Not really bothered which way the call went, but the inconsistency is alarming.In rugby league this incident would have been only a penalty on the field, and a report made, to be looked at later.
Move on; not a possibly game changing incident.
There are other ways to officiate.
