[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 286963"] Stupid decision to give a one week ban. But ffs guys, stop defending what Carter did. It WAS a high tackle. It DIDN'T hit the shoulders first and slip up. I don't think the penalty would ave made much difference to the result, but if a yellow card was handed out, that could have easily changed the result in Wales' favour. In the end though, NZ deserved to win (probably by a bigger margin too), so I'm not too annoyed that this incident was missed. How can you guys have a go at Stephen Jones for kicking the ball? Every player knows that if they dive on a ball like that, they're risking getting a boot somewhere. This is international rugby, where a hack through can often lead to try's. Stephen Jones was perfectly allowed to go for that ball, there was no malice in the incident. There was no malice in Carter's incident either, but a high tackle is a penalty every day of the week and quite often a yellow card (Henson v France 08). [/QUOTE]
