[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1064357, member: 73144"] You’re absolutely right and it’s all very subjective at the moment. I’m fine with subjective as long as the ref displays good judgement (hmmm) and my team isn’t disadvantaged :) Rugby’s a complicated game, particularly for refs, but the only way to get real consistency is to apply a hard metric e.g something like the 8th team penalty leads to an automatic yellow as does every third one thereafter. Any player totting up 3 in a match would also be binned. In some respects that’s against the spirit of the game, but coaches and players would soon adapt. As they would if not straights were penalised at scrums or if a collapsed scrum became an automatic pen (way overdue, because it’s bloody dangerous). [/QUOTE]
