I hope journalists notice there are different people on different panels and it might not actually because someone is an All Black...

Well it should be.

Just as I expected, the NH has woken up and crying outrage. According to the comments on the tweet below, Jordie apparently got off without a suspension because he's an All Black. I've seen more comments like that, also in French.

I can kind of see that point of view though, it's not clear from the Hastings one that he was acting accidentally or intentionally in raising his foot (about 48 seconds in), so for this red card to put aside and that to get three weeks makes you question the process:

It might be bias, but I'm happy there's significant difference between those two. The problem is PR dwellers, redditors and twitterers don't.
Malcolm looks like he inadvertently caught a rugby ball trying to kick someone in the head.

@booboo maybe his lawyer was shit?
While many are similar, at the end of the day we want things looked at on thier own and will always be differences, however subtle.

Before I clicked on that I knew with absolute certainty there'd be "experts" telling Anthony he's wrong. Experts who have never left the earth's surface under their own steam.

@nzzp plus you are taught when jumping for a high ball to bring your knee up like that, just the extension of the leg is the problem.
Anyhow...

Just to compare Rieko's speed vs NFL.
Now Rieko didn't have the ball in his hand - but still.
38.5km/h = 23.92 miles per hour

@kiwimurph And Rieko has to do other things as well!

Not sure I believe he’s as quick as them. Lots of running backs are guys that only just missed out on the 100 metres.
Get a load of how “badly” this guy did.

@mn5 100m is on a track. I can quite easily see how someone slower on a track in sprinting mode could be faster on a field in contact sport mode.

Oh for sure, getting used to running in sprigs etc. It’s not THE most ideal comparison I just remember a show on ESPN going on about the freakish sprint times of NFL wide receivers. I’d just imagine that Reiko ( and Howlett and Rokokoko before him ) would be a tad slower.

Would love to see a race over both 40 metres and 100 metres between Reece, Ioane, Mo’unga, DMac and Barrett.
Rieko has excellent speed.
I was fortunate enough to be able to go to an NFL summer training a few years back and see some of these running backs run over 40 yards without pads and other than seeing sprinters during the 2000 Olympics, I’d never seen speed like it.

Apart from some technique issues (i.e. start), he's still training for much the same event. 0.41 seconds to the eventual winner sounds like s tiny margin until you realise the margins involved in a 10 second race. Half a second is aeons. It's uncompetitive.
When people talk about the competitiveness of American sprinters they're effectively talking about New Zealand rugby players; the further you go into the depth, the greater the disparity against the competition. A New Zealand 30th XV would destroy most other nations equivalent selections IMO.
Many years ago working with an American Infantry Division we had an athletic competition. Four x something distance. After the second change we were winning by miles. Their last runner had just missed Olympic qualification so joined the military. He won by pretty much the margin they were behind when he got the baton. He'd have gone to NFL but didn't play football; couldn't catch a ball.
