[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 635145, member: 71068"] Lol, love how it says "this ref is right" If you listen to that ref he talks about responsibility over the player in the air, and then clearly says at the end "that is why it's only a penalty" - indicating that he felt things were different he'd have been in his right to give a yellow/red card Nigel owens discusses this in some depth on Full Contact on Talk Sport... it's interesting i suggest people listen to it. Both are very different to completely inverting a man in the air so he comes down from great height on his head (still think he lands on his head at the same time - sorry Rats). I would say player safety is paramount in the game, as i say it is a dangerous enough sport with out stupid and reckless challenges creeping into it. Payne is an experienced professional player, he knows the rules he knows the situation he made a mistake that put another player at serious risk - he rightly got sanctioned. I would also point out that there is a level of a language barrier between the ref and Payne/Muller so the point he's making about the head may not come accross right to everyone. Will be interesting to see if Payne is given red card sufficient at his hearing. [/QUOTE]
