Red card there, another Barrett
Shouldn't be - 100% accident. Never looks at the chaser, leg goes out as a natural balance outcome.
Crazy decision.
A red card there surely implies the ref thinks he blatantly and intentionally kicked his opponent in the face.
As opposed to it's an accident.

Deliberation isn’t required for head contact just clumsiness.
Not saying I agree with call just that it doesn’t need to be blatant and intentional -
@canefan sure is. So bloody soft.

A Highlanders player got done for something similar against the Tahs a few years ago.
It's a classic Billy Slater move.
You can talk about his mid air balance or whatever but he stuck his foot out at head height and that's that.
I'm arguing that the rule is dumb. Should he have just landed on his arse?

If he didn't want to get carded, then I guess yes.

He still had one foot in good position to land. It looks bad that the other one extends, when it was also in good position to land, if you're arguing about balance.
You could really argue that trying to land with one foot out is worse for your balance.

The landing foot only got into place because the other leg extended. Natural movement. Still unco, he fucked it up.

@nzzp the joys of daytime rugby.

Keep changing my mind up about that one. Not deliberate, but still a slightly unco leap to lead with the sprigs like that.

Why was Koribete attempting to tackle him in the air? You out yourself in harm's way of knees and feet when you do that.
