Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Rd 4

[RedruthRFC]

Yeah it's either a red card or nothing. From the video I lean more towards red card cause that looks more like a curb stomp than a clear out.

Why? The flowchart I've seen appears to make it clear that mitigation can be implied to what would otherwise be red card decisions, reducing them to yellow, as the panel appear to have retrospectively done.

Assuming that the below is up to date, reckless head contact is a red. It can be mitigated down to a yellow if it is deemed not to be intentional or highly reckless, which is what it appears to me that the panel have concluded.

I don't think that applies to this incident:

It'd be very very loose interpretation to include that as a dangerous cleanout given Bealham wasn't in the ruck.

Leinster fans seem pretty confident about beating us in the playoffs.

But we rested Dan Cole who is like a 20 pint swing towards Tigers

FTFY

My bad, I didn't get as far as page 2 to be honest!

Make it make sense.

Didn't deserve that length. Agreed with the red but when it for clumsyness or accidental recklessness then the remainder of game or 1 game is sufficient enough

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

This is such a mess. Overhaul needed.

Not understanding this like at worst he gets a ban for 4 weeks. It is still the same effect.

No one knows what's going on is the issue.

I think the panel's initial finding seems fair, I hope Bristol appeal the appeal.
