[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 952612, member: 45355"] you right that barrett had a bad angle to make a tackle without touching the head....but as you also point out, coles is already tackling him so you could argue his impact was unnecessary obviously you can then come back and say we cant expect players to assume the tackle is going to be completed, especially that close to the line, they need to be sure...and then i could probably come back with something else Long and short is you get in the weeds VERY quickly when talking about mitigation, and anticipations and anything else other than the surface facts, he's gone for a shoulder charge which is illegal in rugby, straight away a penalty and sometimes interpreted as a yellow...it ended contacting the head...normal escalation of these things suggests Red shouldn't be a surprise to anyone The problem for my point of view is there are two arguments, i can completely agree there could and should be a discussion about if the rules are fair and just...this instance thought, with current interpretations, seems pretty clear cut...and the players need to play the game to the current interpretations...not how they feel the rules should be implemented [/QUOTE]
