Yay a threat of another card from the ref.

Well overdue really. I wouldn't have minded a straight card for all those offsides in a row.

What the fuck is wrong with Marshall and how can we the viewers do something to get rid of him?

It's a not ridiculous opinion. It is literally how rugby operated from the 1870s to 2018. You can't be shocked that everyone hasn't moved at the same pace.

The reality is, he had ample time to get in a better position and do a legitimate smashed him bro... But carelessly / wrecklessly put himself in a position where he was only going to be able to hit him high...

Get on with the scrum, FFS.

This again shows that cards ruin games. Just use a report system and replace the offending player.

I broadly agree and have called for that exact system (other than for acts of filth), but we can't blame the refs for applying the laws and guidelines as they've been instructed to do. This is the fault of the players and administrators.
Marshall opening his gob and needlessly giving us more evidence he's an imbecile doesn't change this. What his commentary does is actually breed contempt for the referee. His employers should be ashamed and censured by NZR.

Tap and go guys.
Kick it out and they get 2 players back into the game.
Of course we don't even find touch. And it works out anyway.

I would have gone for scrum, almost all the force team had to be in the scrum!

@antipodean Yep totally agree, it's clear the players can't change overnight and highly unlikely anytime soon otherwise they would have already.
Nearly every game now has a card and it's ridiculous they have not found a better solution. -

No it's not, but hey you go ahead. While we're at it, why are women voting?

Name one example of a player red carded for a head clash before 2018.
this is worse then our Pressies games
