Watching the game again, Todd injured lead up to his send off. Carrying his arm really weird. Might not see him next week
EDIT: Yup I'm a genius doctor

@Machpants If it's a dislocated shoulder, then surely they will bring a player in. Papalii (although he looked to have picked up an injury yesterday) or Squire perhaps.

Finally getting to the aftermatch interviews and isn't Shag a great advertisement for the game these days - some subtle humour, great recognition of opponents at the right time (making a point of his first utterance being to acknowledge Schmidt and Best was pure class) and also calling attention to Reado for his efforts over the entirety of the season and then his work in this game.

@Siam I hate how you can be part of a maul from the start, work your way through, end up on the side, nek minut you are pinged (think Ardie got done for one of them)

Not really sure what Matt Todd could do there?
Tackle?
Exactly. It ain’t about intent anymore. Or even it being an accident. If you’re in the way, flailing around like a epileptic squid you’re gonna get pinged. Todd got sent off for being a muppet. Can’t even claim cynicism, just rubbishness.
He's directly responsible for both of Ireland's tries. His YC was deserved - you're supposed to tackle.
Please explain to me the rule that Todd broke? He was inside, the vision clearly showed that. He did not make shoulder or arm contact with the irish player's head. It was at best a collision I would have thought? Honest question
I'd go with foul play obstruction. He made no attempt to tackle and simply plopped himself in the way.

Who is he obstructing. Isn't obstruction preventing someone from playing?
Poor decision which he made worse by inventing weirder call.
When you're in a hole stop digging. Should have had the guts to reverse his initial call.

@akan004 Dunno the article has Shag all 'probably', 'we'll see' and 'old injury inflamed' type thing.

The player who is going to place the ball at the foot of the posts.
Todd prevented that by throwing himself in the way.
Illegal act which prevented a try being scored.
Penalty try, YC.
Pretty easy to work out.

@MiketheSnow The only problem was Nig continually going on about never onside, never mentions obstruction. And Todd came from behind the try line so utter arse was spouted by Nige

So he got the offside bit wrong but the rest correct.
Todd was binned for the latter not the former.

The ball carrier, from playing the ball. I suggest you watch a replay. It's obvious and uncontroversial. Ignore that he got flustered in his explanation, the penalty and card are justified.

No everything he said was wrong, for him it was preventing a try by coming in offside, so he was talking utter crap."Diving from the side" (of what?) "he was offisde" (no he wasn't) "Clearly offisde" (nope) "Came in front and prevented a try" (Sorry not allowed to be infront of a player to stop a try?). I'm not arguing the result, just the fact he did not know what he was talkng about, very similar to his talk with Beaudy's try. Only by luck was the card correct, maybe, not by actually what he described that he 'saw'.

I had to go and watch again after reading this. He did not prevent the ball carrier from playing the ball. The ball could have been made available to a team mate at any time and Todd didn’t stop him from trying to do that. He was, for the record, behind the try line when the ball carrier picked up the ball and only moved forward after that. He flopped clownishly at the base of the posts but was onside when he did it. If you called it a tackle or a breakdown then he was on the NZ side of it. If you called it open play then he can be wherever the fuck he likes.
Or are you saying that defenders have an obligation to let a player attempt to place the ball and score a try? Because I missed that law change and so has everybody else who tries to hold up the ball and prevent a score, like in every game ever.
As you’ll have gathered, I’m not accepting it’s obvious and uncontroversial just because you say so.
Of course I could be wrong but you’ll need to cite your source.
