Hurricanes v Highlanders

[Damo]

Just a yellow for me.

[Hooroo]

If he got red that would have been a travesty.

[Mattasaurus]

Fair call.. but a couple weeks back it was red all day

[antipodean]

Yellow is a good call.

[Stargazer]

Haha, TJ asked "red?". Ref: "no, just yellow". We'll await what the Citing Commissioner thinks ... I think the ref got it right.

I don't think so. The crucial point is whether or not force is used and Perenara clearly didn't use force so it could never be anything more than a yellow.

Nope. He was going for the ball. Red would have been ridiculous.

Nice try to Dixon.

Landers know about those red card travesties.

Well taken try

[taniwharugby]

@hydro11 well it could be a red if the ref viewed it as such, fortunately he didn't.

Ffs I seem to be surrounded by highlanders fans

Wasn't that from a tackled in the air? That's a completely different situation.

[Mattasaurus]

@hydro11 nah, not a tackle. ..but high ball issue. Just glad to see some sanity back from the officals

Correct. Feki didn't get red either, by the way.

[Mattasaurus]

That was very poor defence

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Laumape is a unit and a half. Flying nugget.

[Nepia]

Damn, Laumape laid out Ben from Accounts.

Did he get a yc?

Potential AB for sure. Has to iron out some deficiencies though - a bit at fault for the Highlanders 1st try.

[Stargazer]

@Mattasaurus Yes, because he didn't show sufficient care for the other player in the air. Ref's words, not mine. Wasn't really a tackle, more going for the high ball, but too late and resulting in the other player falling on his head/neck.
