[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 718538, member: 72205"] reckless utterly unconcerned about the consequences of some action; without caution; careless (usually followed by of) ...not sure what to say I suppose it's to argue where true recklessness begins quite a few actions on the rugby field imply recklessness due to it being a contact sport and every contact has it's dangers. Minimising those dangers within the context of the sport is what players and referee's responsibilities are. I think players should only be red carded/banned for deliberate foul play or reckless behavior that could better prevented based on the action at the time. Lawes' tackle for example could be described as reckless (as he was unable to pull out regardless of what happened next) but he was already fully committed to the action when the player still had the ball at time when the action was legal. Another example is Russell was told he should of anticipated the player entering the air despite before that moment everything he was doing being perfectly legal within the laws of the game. Once that happened he was unable to do anything. This again is another example of that a player is already committed to an action, unaware North's head is there, in turn he is unable to pull out of the collision in time to prevent it or minimize impact. If a player is unable to pull out of what otherwise been a legal action after events unfolded it is not reckless just unfortunate. Players are gonna get knocked about in rugby, knee will hit heads as long as players are not deliberately injuring players or doing there best not to once they can see what is going to happen they shouldn't be penalised. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Infact this exactly what yellow cards are for, deliberate dangerous foul play is a red, unintentional dangerous foul play is a yellow. The only time it should be increased from yellow to red is if the player is seen to be aware of his unintended actions and not taken a course of action to prevent it. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I like Haskell's comments at the end :) http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/31/wasps-nathan-hughes-dai-young [/QUOTE]
