Wallabies v Springboks II

[gt12]

How the fuck does that get talked down to a yellow?

[Chris]

Shoulder on head Red card , soft Ref.

[ACT Crusader]

Not sure what 21 was trying to achieve either. Straight off his feet to seal the ball too. Dumb.

No bind, straight to the head.

Even before the recent crackdown on head contact that was a red.

[Kirwan]

Well that was as straight as Nigel Owens.

[Victor Meldrew]

Jeez, the Boks have been shit tonite.

Unimaginative, buggering up opportunity after opportunity and mistakes after mistake at critical moments.

[Machpants]

Cmon Ozzie, 1 more point we're world number 1

Pretty much a Scott Barret special.

[Tim]

That's fucked. Absolutely fucked. That is the clearest red.

[Kiwiwomble]

How that’s that the “shoulder change” and fafs slap down are considered the same things is madness

Red card? Shitty clean out.

Head to head

Not first contact.

As m4l likes to say - put your head there...

Yeah I actually think it wasn't that bad. Definitely a penalty. No more

I'm just wondering about how he saw that vs the earlier tackle

[Canes4life]

How the fuck isn’t that a red? The guy intentionally ran around and put his shoulder into the head.

[voodoo]

Hilarious.

If Kerevi had stayed down or writhed around like a fish on a bank, that'd be a red every time.

[Stargazer]

I'll be surprised if this isn't going to be a citing. There's no way there are mitigating factors. First contact was with the head; with force.

[chimoaus]

Congrats Wallabies, not often you beat the world champs twice in a row.

In sideways too. It was something a reserve grader would be embarrassed about

Scott should appeal

Not often they win two in a row period.

Shoulder to the head of a player in a vulnerable position. Should be a long ban.

No attempt to clean out. If Swinton was a borderline red, that was an easy red
