Hurricanes v Crusaders

Did Scott call him Lani?

[Mackerzzzz]

laumape

Well that was straight up dumb by Laumape.

[Yeetyaah]

Lucky to not be red

[akan004]

Luck it's only a yellow

Very

[Gunner]

How is that only yellow?

Forearm directly to the neck?

Clear red these days isn’t it?

[gt12]

I’m really surprised he didn’t get red for that.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 may be a citing?

[Tim]

Definitely a card. Lucky for him they didn't show another angle. Should have been a yellow for the Neck roll though.

[Canes4life]

Julian and Ngani can do us a favour and jump on a plane. Too thick.

[gt12]

They got both of those wrong - Havili prob deserved yellow and that deserves red

[LABCAT]

But Havilli is all good to actually strangle Barrett, makes no sense.

[Mackerzzzz]

Every hurricanes game there seems to be a card

Poor discipline time and time again

[Tim]

@gunner Couldn't see the impact point clearly on that angle? Is it first contact to the head for a red?

Somebody post that flowchart.

[voodoo]

Don't disagree that it's lucky to be yellow in the context of current rulings, but I also think it SHOULD be only yellow. There was no intent to hurt (like a big punch), no way to inflict real harm if it went slightly askew (like a tip tackle or neck roll)

It was a dickhead move, and a yellow is right.

[Crucial]

How did they decide that slid up from the chest when they watched the same replay as us?
Cop out. I agree with Ardie though that they should have YCd the neck roll.
Just should have RCd that. Deliberate forearm to the throat of a prone player.

[African Monkey]

That was just dumb by Laumape and yes, it deserved red.

[Tim]

Laumape ran a nice line with good acceleration for his try. A couple of nice short passes before it. Then he does two dumb things to end the half.

Throat / neck is vulnerable area.

Scott Barrett is great at placing pressure on at tackle ball situation.
