All Blacks v France Test #2

[Dice]

Beauden honestly made it worse with his poor technique. Going up AFL style. If he went with the normal rugby technique, he might not of flipped like that.

[Tim]

Yep, if he comes down on his head it's a red. Ruined fucking game though.

How much do you pay the refs?

Fuck off. He never tried to catch the ball. Barret could have been seriously hurt. Stamp that shite out.

[Donsteppa]

Frenchman appeared looking at the ball the whole time.

Not a defence. He barely left the ground

Okay. That shouldn't be a red. Intent should count.

What? He didn't intend to be a fucking idiot? Too stupid to know what he was doing?

Calm the fuck down.

Eyes on the ball. Gets a shoulder from ioane just before contact. Bangs in to a guy who jumps. Never grabs. Doesn't run through him. Yellow all day. But i think a red needs a higher threshold.

[Mokey]

Moody scores, McKenzie converts. 7-3.

[canefan]

I remember Naholo doing that in a game a couple of years ago. He should have seen red too

[gt12]

J Barrett with exactly the kick to use

A shame tbh but it is a red unfortunately.

Bloody hell, this isn’t going to help with trying systems before the RC.

[Gunner]

Rules are rules, but I do feel a bit sorry for the Frenchy that got the red card.

He was reckless, yes, but (bad) luck played a part. If Barrett lands a bit better it’s only yellow.

However he shouldn’t have put himself in the position where the ref was forced to make a decision.

How fucking poor was Parra as he watched a bloody front rower run around him.
White flag up already?

I respectfully disagree. That was incredibly dangerous. He was never going to get that ball. He barely left the ground ffs. Clear red all day.

Yeah, under current laws it's red all day. And ignorance of the laws is not a defense. Ref had no choice, just a really dumb play.

Eyes on the ball ? So what? Just watching a ball doesn't mean you are seriously trying to catch it. The rules are clear. And they are there for a bloody good reason.

The small explosions you can hear all the way from the UK after that Red Card are from Stephen Jones brain....

Yep. The Walrus will be choking on his cornflakes over that one.
