It does seem like a holiday job.

@Kiwiwomble maybe Gardner has colour blindness to pink?

They're all the same. Can't see a white seven on black I've been told.
Should've gone to spec savers.

You should be a test rugby ref!

@Machpants Seems reasonable. I don't know what's controversial about it. He managed to shoulder charge a lock on the chin.
-
@antipodean it is a big chin.
But yeah - four week is about right.
No idea why we're doing this on the Bledisloe 3 thread. Maybe he hit him into last week?

Funny article...
The fact that he singles out Cully, JK, Kearns and Horan, yet barely Marshalls comment is more a passing comment
And he called JK and Cully decent blokes but not Kearns and Horan. Probably a stupid question but if they were such serious head contacts shouldn’t have the players hit been sent for HIAs?

Whitelock certainly should have been, that was significant contact
-
Hmm I moved the posts about Swinton's four weeks ban here but they never turned up
No idea why

And lateral contact as well - tends to make the potential for concussion worse.

It was as blatant as it gets on replay
I've had a thought about this.
Were we on a warning? Or were they so hot on attack that this was a professional foul that prevented a possible try?
Answers: I don't know and no.
Regardless of whether the TMO should have got involved (he shouldn't have) it was not a YC offence. (Unless we were on a warning. )
Dumb as a bag of hammers. But not a YC.

@kiwiinmelb i'd like to see everything short of deliberate foul play or punches dialled back a step,
so like scrums and single off sides kind of stuff is a free kick (repeated becomes a penalty), poor form or accidents become penalties and then leave the cards for the really grievous stuff
At the risk of starting World War 2, and whilst I understand the rules mandate it, but there being an automatic yellow card for what Scott Barrett did seems to me absurd.
Neither dangerous, nor thwarting a try, just stupid. A penalty in that situation is an entirely sufficient sanction.
Ahh. A booboo. Three posts down.

Fuck that. Cynical cheating should be stamped on hard. People misjudging the offside line / coming up too quick, hands in ruck a second too long are judgement errors. What SB did was not a mistake, it was deliberate, so fuck him and the whores he rode in on.
Nice
