[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1125774, member: 45598"] Dangerously low bar for unavoidable contact in my opinion. Big union and social media pressure got to them, no way a Fijian escapes sanction there. Edit: reasoning given and it's mitigation - Players not expected to anticipate a player bending over to pick up a ball is such a low bar. Haven't been this ****** off with a decision since Sam Cane got away with taking Henshaw's head clear off. How can I send lads out to play a rugby match when grass roots referees, who are already pretty inadequate at protecting players from head contact, see that and are told it's not a red card? Massive failing. [/QUOTE]
