[QUOTE="Peat, post: 802332, member: 42330"] People don't routinely get their neck broken from spear tackles, but its a red card. People don't routinely get bad injuries from a shoulder charge hitting the head in the ruck, but its a red card. Well, sometimes. Haven't made their mind up on that one. Ditto a clash in the air leading to a guy falling on their head... The rules of rugby are changing and one of them is that if you smack someone's head, the red card is a possible outcome. They don't follow the policy religiously, true, but you can definitely see the policy there. edit: That is very clearly not how they're officiating rugby. Obviously you're allowed to disagree with that but don't be surprised when they red card reckless play. [/QUOTE]
