[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 789975, member: 20956"] No argument from me, Francis should've had a red 100% - but equally so Marler should've had a yellow for the forearm smash on Evans during Cole's disallowed try, North shouldn't have been called in touch - etc etc. - Can argue these all day, Joubert and the TMO didn't have the best game with some of the big calls essentially. Reason Wales didn't get a yellow in the first half is likely because the penalties were relatively broken up. If England had gone for the jugular and backed themselves for the try, rather than kicking for the posts, I'm convinced they'd have drawn a few more successive penalties and a Welsh player would've been in the bin. They never quite seemed to get the string of penalties in the red zone over a short space of time that usually leads to a card - like what happened with Cole later on. Whether that's the right way to look at it, I don't know, but that's how Joubert seemed to manage the game anyway. Anywho, all of this has been turned over time and time again. Well and truly time to put this thread to bed I think :lol: [/QUOTE]
