[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 719183, member: 20605"] Foul play resulting in feet, fists or arms [U]intentionally[/U] making contact with the head is red card all day, every day, every time, and long may it continue to be so. Fail to punish it and this becomes tacit approval to carry on in the same way. The result of that will be escalation. Last week we saw Bismarck du Plessis jam his sprigs into an opponent's face, Hika Elliott deliver a cheap-shot forearm to an opponent's head, and Frans Steyn drive an opponent head first into the ground. This week we see Jean Deysel dropping he knee into a prone players' head. Acts like this have no part in the Game of Rugby Union, and the day they are not red card offences because they are [I]"part of the game"[/I] is the day the game and I part company. [/QUOTE]
