So is an accident a red card these days. Fuck me rugby is turning into a shit show.

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...

World's longest scrum set surely.

Right up there with the scrums that had an entire yellow card used up France versus Wales!

[Victor Meldrew]

Get on with the scrum, FFS.

[Damo]

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.

@chimoaus said in Highlanders v Force:

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.

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

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

Very well deserved.

[Machpants]

Harmon on fire, scrum chaos, double tight head lol

Force are farce

[Grooter]

Fakatava! come on down DLB

[chimoaus]

@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.

[chimoaus]

Fuck I wish he had kicked that.

Name one example of a player red carded for a head clash before 2018.

That would've been so good, so close

[Bones]

Timu was nigh on invisible, which makes Gilbert and TUJ's game even more impressive since they didn't have a first five or centre.

I'm not sure but I think if they went for a scrum the YC guy would have come back on, as well as the guy who also went off because of the uncontested scrums.

Tap and go was the way to go. 15 against 12.

Name one example of a woman voting before women began voting.
