[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 746537, member: 70721"] I'm contesting that it was excessively harsh, a sending off is also permitted in the rulebook, do you numpties think he should have had that as well for crying out loud. If the idiot referee had have let play flow for a couple of seconds longer the English had the try scored, he could have had a word with the halfback, admonishment, thats in the rules, he didn't need to send him from the field and RUIN the game as a contest in the first 15 minutes. The try England scored was in a very kickable position, punishment enough, he was overly heavy handed and Fiji never recovered from the diabolical decision as 12 unanswered points were racked up while he was off the field. GOOD referees use their judgement, not good referees are over heavy in applying the rulebook. The Fijians were NEVER going to win that game but it might have been closely contested for a half at least. Totally unnecessary over harsh punishments will ruin the entire cup. (Along with the TMO nonsense.) Instead it took the wind out of any Fijian sails and left us with a very dull opening spectacle until the Samoans entered the fray in the last quarter. [/QUOTE]
