[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1138591, member: 73144"] Total common sense. What really resonated is saying that a guaranteed red means that it will be out of the game in the short term. This has long been my argument for sorting out collapsing scrums - don’t rearrange deckchairs on the ***anic with engagement sequences etc, just make it a complete no-no. Automatic cards, bans - maybe a season of pain, but the coaches and players will soon sort it. The argument that refs often don’t really understand what’s going on in the front row and that it is just a lottery would actually incentivise the coaches to sort it, as they analyse everything to death and the one thing they don’t want is uncertainty and risk. You don’t see punch ups or head stamping any more. It’s not because testosterone levels have dropped - it’s because there are now proper consequences for those actions so player behaviours have changed. Clothes line and tip tackles similarly.
