@KiwiMurph Looked 100% a red card. Wonder if this is why they ruled otherwise:
"The Foul Play Review Committee deemed that the significant involvement of other players contributed to the incident which produced mitigating factors."

I wonder if it was based on first contact of landing. I think an argument could be made first contact was landing on the shoulder not the head.
After initial contact he lifted and drove, with others joining the tackle. Possible that the judiciary thought the players teammate contributed to the tip, but unclear.
IMO clear and stupid red. I also thought the tip on Paisami was a red - only difference in the two tackles was Paisami stuck his arm out to protect his head/neck and Cane didn't.
Edit: misunderstood your post ignore me.
Anything beyond horizontal is unnecessary and should be immediately heading towards a red IMO.

it was all day a red, and that judicial finding does absolutely nothing but muddy the waters, and make the entire process a murky joke that pisses everyone off.
Deadset rugby just does not help itself does it?

wait. what?
How on earth is this even a decent possibility? A team from a competition played exclusively in Australasia/Pacific (ish) made up of players exclusively from NZ is going to develop a global brand? Especially in a niche minority sport like rugby?
The ABs one i can kind of understand. Kind of.
This gobbelty gook makes no sense. The fuck am i missing?

@mariner4life Yeah, the "global brand" bit is obvious BS.

'The Hurricanes said one of Y11 Sport & Media's main aims was to develop the franchise’s intellectual property and focus on global commercial rights outside of New Zealand and Australia.'
This bit shows a bit of promise in that they may take Mr. Holland's intellectual property and deposit it in their Ospreys investment. Incidentally how can an investment company possibly contribute to developing a rugby outfits intellectual property?
With Ospreys currently running in 11th out of 16 in the United Championship they seem to have a fair bit of work on their hands to turn them into a powerhouse organisation.

Maybe this was really a long term thing, given we dont even have 'Hurricanes' in the Southern Hemisphere, surely they were always planning on appealing to the NH market!

Now that is what red cards should be for, and no replacing the player.

@taniwharugby Yellow card and two weeks

Fijian Drua and Ta$man Mako$ Number 8, Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta meets his father for the very first time in Fiji.
His mother was pregnant with him when she left Fiji for NZ. He never met his biological father as his mum settled in NZ with a Maori man who raised him as his own son and soon had a new family with him. His father could not legally travel to NZ to meet him and with rugby on his mind, Te Ahiwaru didn't get the time to come to visit him, but he decided to carry his birth father's surname and this weekend when the Drua plays the Highlanders in Fiji, this is the first time they have ever met. His father Eroni was a winger playing for Naitasiri back then.. Video in link - -
@Toddy fuck me...if that was today, straight red and surely min 6 weeks?

dropped to 3 weeks as he hasn't elbowed McCaw in the head before and showed remorse. Then reduced to two as he went on an elbow technique programme he hadn't done before.
but yeah, wow, different game. Fark McCaw was awesome, GOAT rugby player.
