England vs Wales - 12/08/23

An absolute farce and stinks of corruption. As an Englishman I am embarrassed.

Plus we now have to have him stagnate our entire game with pre mediated second phase kick chase.

Eurgh.
 
As a rugbymad Irishman living in England, nobody that I spoke with since Sunday thought it was anything other than a red card. It was even suggested that the ref had bottled it by sending it for review. This shows how weak the commitment to player welfare really is. I can only assume that World Rugby are terrified that if England fails to get out of the group, viewing figures and future potential revenue will be affected….. I despair.
 
Maybe the Aussies have played a blinder by keeping Farrell in the team???? ;)

In all seriousness, the most farcical decision I've ever seen come out of this sport. Absolute joke today. Disgraceful
 
Probability of Rassie reposting or hinting at this? (From when Esterhuizen received a similar tackle from Farrell in '18)
 
Why would he appeal? The panel found in his favour.
Not from him, from World Rugby saying "No, no, take a look at that again" or from another union. I recall once before World Rugby stepping in after a decision was made, but I can't recall the case/situation.

Gotta imagine they will - it's a genuinely mad decision from the panel, they can't be seen to be endorsing it
