RWC: Japan v Scotland (Pool A)

[antipodean]

Just a yellow. Head clash with Japanese hooker falling.

[Bones]

Fucken brilliant by bok.

[Billy Tell]

Please no red card

[Rebound]

So what's the difference between this tackle and the 2 cards against the ABs

[African Monkey]

@booboo It shouldn't be. Good call from the much maligned Ben O'Keeffe.

[antipodean]

Finally some common sense. Well done Ben.

But only adds to the inconsistency of rulings.

[chimoaus]

So there is the answer to avoid red cards, tackle with your head.

[Stargazer]

Insane Horie isn't taken off for a HIA.

Both should’ve been.

[Victor Meldrew]

Think the Ref got it right but in other games that would have been a RC or YC.

Real uncertainty around the tackle area and that's really the issue which needs to be sorted

The part of the body that impacted the head.

[antipodean]

Scotland need some possession.

[Billy Tell]

Japanese 9 is world class imo.

[chimoaus]

If he didn’t lead with his head it’s likely his shoulder would have connected, so Scotland lucky there.
