Take that. Awesome but how that shoulder charge wasn't a red is beyond me.

Can the Brumbies score tries other than from mauls ?
They’ve scored 4/13 from rolling mauls. They have plenty of firepower in the backs. Losing Simone before the game was a killer.

How is that not clear shoulder to head?
Gutless call
Apparently.

@Tim The screen at Canberra Stadium leaves a lot to be desired, but there's no excuse for Nic Berry and the TMO. Even Helen Keller could see it was a shoulder to the head.

I find that hard to believe.
Helen Keller has been dead for around 50 years.
I think Stevie Wonder saw it though.

@Machpants Luck had nothing to do with it. Mid-range entry point is 6 weeks. With the usual 50% deduction for clean judicial record, showing remorse etc, it was always going to be 3 weeks. His only luck was that he didn't get red-carded during the game.

I always ponder the justice in these instances.
Brumbies could have had a man advantage for an extra 25 minutes (35 minutes minus the 10 for the yellow).
In a close game like this, that could have changed the result.
Instead, Highlander opponents for the next 3 weeks get the advantage of them having to play a replacement winger.Seems wrong but I'll be damned if I can give any suggestion on how it is fixed.

The red card would have made a difference, in all probability.
But the Ponies fucking bottled that.
One shitty exit - when they're getting the upper hand - leads to a chargedown try.
A failure to close the game out gives the Clan the penalty they need.They shouldn't take any time to blame the officials for what was a completely fucking unfathomable decision to award a yellow instead of the blindingly obvious red for contact to the head.
