[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1049406, member: 59968"] Agreed. Should never have been a red, but I do wonder whether the sense of injustice added something to the Wallabies’ performance. From Rennie’s POV, it gave an easy out if they’d lost and with the win, I actually think gives him a good statement victory he can use as a good reminder/motivator in future games (‘we won this with 14 players, we could have destroyed them with 15’). Putting a positive spin on it, I actually think a win in adversity benefits Australia and this incident might also have a positive impact on the game in general by a) encouraging better decision-making in these scenarios and b) putting a spotlight on ‘simulation’ which might make referees take a bit more notice of this creeping in to the game.
