[QUOTE="MotherRucker1, post: 717067, member: 72442"] I still don't think Hika's was a Red card offense personally. To me, I'm not even sure he did connect to the head. From the footage I can see, Elliot's body is blocking the view. It could well have been a forearm to the shoulder or neck (which is still bad, I know). Don't get me wrong, it was very dumb, and I would have had no issues with a yellow card to set a precedent that World Rugby want this cut out of the game. But if we're saying that Elliot's actions, which were stupid, are in the same league as a blatant kick to the skull, then no - I disagree. I have seen Elliot's action done by many players in the past, and while World Rugby is only cracking down on it in recent times, I don't recall others (such as the Franks brothers) carded. But if I'm wrong, that's cool. Just as long as they're consistent. Because I hope they realize it happens almost every game by somebody at least. [/QUOTE]
