Champions Cup 24/25 - Saturday, 24 May

How did Ramm get injured?

 

[Rinkadink]

That could easily have been red, full tilt jumping knee over a player who's on the floor? Also should have been yellow for not 10 from Mitchell quick tap.

Saints fans must be seething.

Like is there a rule about going over the top of a player

Yes. You can't even jump into tackles.

 

[Jimbo]

It's the guy on the grounds job to not contact people on their feet. Runner tried to avoid him but he was raising his head at just the wrong time.

If that is the rules that mental, a player on the ground could be groggy injured or anything, one would think it’s on the hurdling player to be aware.

Jumping into tackles is massively different

But where is the rules of going over the top of someone on the ground

 

[BrokenWing]

I mean when it's played in real time it's looks like he's just focused on the ball completely and Furbank timed it badly with leaning up

Like is there a rule about going over the top of a player?

Oh, I don't think he's gone to knee him in the face, but if I'm chasing that ball I don't want to increase my chances of falling over by having to negotiate a body on the floor.

At first watch I though Furbank had been a bit naughty and tried to take him out.

 

[Ddanno]

There's a rule for not kicking a prone player in the face

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

There's a rule for not kicking a prone player in the face

Was it a kick and was he prone?

Show me the kicking motion and if Furbank was actually prone he would’ve have gotten hit

 

[Rinkadink]

9.11 (a) Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others including leading with the head, shoulder, elbow or forearm, or jumping into, or over, an opponent

Which is why no penalty was called. Like calling a scrum when a knocked out player doesn’t roll away from a tackle.

[Ddanno]

I'm not arguing it was a deliberate action, "just" stupid and dangerous

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

What’s the sanction for it?

 

[Rinkadink]

What's the sanction for it?

Mate. Go look yourself, I've done the hardest bit for you and you're still here picking. I'm watching the game.

 

[McTallshort]

Northampton are struggling here.

9.11 (a) Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others including leading with the head, shoulder, elbow or forearm, or jumping into, or over, an opponent

Might want to look at law 13. Players on ground in open play are not considered part of the game.

 

[BrokenWing]

Let's not turn this into The Politics thread...

 

[Jimbo]

That’s a different situation in you situation above body’s are littered everywhere in this taking the scenic route rather than hurdling would Mel very little different there wasn’t much to navigate.

 

[TommiG88]

That looked a touch forward

 

[McTallshort]

Rubbish smith! Bring back rentaghost

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Without the outside backs saints are going to struggle against the wide game of UBB
