And the yellow is going to be a bullshit one
Is it wrong of me to hope for a red to demonstrate just what a farce the current rules are in such situations?

No yellow, just a penalty.
Been impressed with Brace and his team. Good reffing so far, clear consistent and letting the game flow,

That was a peach of a try. You won't see many better.

The tackle was not a card, but 7 or 8 penalties in the 22 with a number more under advantage - could be a game changer

And Brace yellows England after another penalty

Penalty only is the correct decision but would have been a yellow by the laws (arm with force to the head --> lower punishment because he was falling). Certainly hurt more than the Codie Taylor tackle...

Bizarre call given the protocols that've been outlined.

Vermeulin & Kolisi have been immense today. Kolisi has developed his running game hugely.

@sidbarret said in England vs Springbokke:
@frye also correct, which further shows the protocols are wrong
Nah. It was a reckless swinging arm from some clumsy, journeyman oaf. Falling players happen all the time. You cant just cock and fire your arm at chest height and then be surprised that you happen to catch them in the head occasionally because they'd already been tackled (which said oaf must have realized was happening, unless he's even more clumsy than I've given him credit for).

Totally disagree. It was absolutely the right call.

Depends how seriously people are about the game continuing I guess. The more we learn about CTE, the less likely it will.

This match is an almost perfect illustration of the problem with the way that RSA play the game. They’ve been utterly dominant this whole half and should have been out of sight ages ago but now we’re watching them picking post match fights because they’ve not been able to get enough points to match their dominance and close out the match.
