@Gunner Quite. And the paying public might well ask for their money back. Even better, a class action against the piston wristed gibbons who run World Rugby.
Give it up ffs.
The guy went for a hard hit against arguably England's best / most influential player.
He got it wrong.
He was suitably punished.
It's not that difficult.
I don’t believe anyone is arguing about the crime and punishment. We can park that.
It’s about common sense and not punishing a team for one of their players actions.
Red cards have become more common than hot dinners, and I like many others see it as a problem for the game.
What the hell is this? Are you another wanting penalties removed from the game? Knock ons should be play on? We wouldn't want to punish a team for the actions of a player! It's a fricken team game.
The problem isn't the cards.
You’re being totally ridiculous now.
The point is red cards get dished out every second or third game nowadays, so do we really want to see 1/3 of rugby games decided by red cards?
I don’t, and I suspect thousands of other people don’t. People will stop watching, simple as that.
I'm not the one who started being ridiculous. You've changed your point now. So you don't mind a team being punished for the actions of a player?
Is it that hard to understand the cards aren't the problem? It's odd, I thought most of the time they don't just appear out of midair. I wonder why we would see cards in a game?
Can I have some of whatever you’re smoking?
I have not changed my point.
It’s simple, I think the amount of red cards being handed out these days is ruining too many rugby games.
You don’t.
We could go round in circles all night but instead let’s just agree to disagree.
You said a team shouldn't be punished for the actions of a player. It's right there in your posts. But yeah I'm smoking something eh?
The game hasn't been ruined by the amount of cards.

Apologies, that was a bad choice of words to use. I knew the context I was using them...
My point stands, red cards are ruining rugby.
Don’t see the issue with the red carded player being replaced after 10 minutes then being dealt with by the judiciary afterwards.
I’m telling you now, people will stop watching if the current trend of red cards continues and the system around them stays the same.

I think Argentina checked out once the card was issued. Worst game of the WC I have seen so far.
Its been a gradual lack of interest - they certainly haven't threatened much.
They've been the disappointment of the RWC for me. I thought they'd stich up France and give England a run.

Me too. There was an Argentinian fan on here for a while really talking them up, had me hoping they'd knock over England and/or France but they've been a real dud. Way worse than previous RWCs.
-
Argentina would do well just to try fuck up England a bit now for everyone else benefit.
-
The current system has a high chance of a player being sent off in the finals. Imagine if Scott Barrett or SBW incidents happened in a final. The punishment seems too great when the act is not purposefully malicious. It's not like an eye gouge or biting the opponents ear off.

Disappointed with Owens and his team there.
Argentinian shows poor technique in the tackle striking ball carrier's head - red card.
English player shows poor technique in the charge down striking the kicker's chin - penalty only.
That is what's going to drive people away from rugby.

@booboo Yes, I agree, Lavinini should pay the sanction. Hit him in the pocket. But not the people paying for it. Do you see the distinction?

I do. And think you're wrong.
Why should a thug have free reign on the field?
It's sport. As I have said sport is random.
Players make mistakes. And know there are consequences.
Way hey. Argies score. But still need 3 tries to win
-
What is it with these two sides kicking away possession?
This is awful by both sides.
-
Best try of the night.
That's how you create space England.

The clear tackle in the air as well. A couple of pretty obvious YCs not given as Owens wanted to give the most charitable interpretation possible.
