[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1155984, member: 79608"] This is a big one, it's amazing how the armchair experts in rugby can be so so far from accurate with their attempt at understanding the laws of the game - people literally spout any old sh*** when it suits them when they clearly don't know the rules. It's a monster of a job for referees even at the best of times, especially at internation game pace. Overall, I don't have a problem with the bunker system, it has removed the instant red card which is a good thing IMO. The refs don't really need extra on-field pressure and it disrupts the flow of the game deliberating. I think there is room for an on field red decision if it is so blatantly clear from the replay that dangerous play has occurred. In this scenario I think the on field ref should work on the lines of "I'm at a red card decision, does the TMO have any reason to review for mitigation?". Scrums have been better in terms of not contacntly getting reset, although still there is an apparent inability for professional guys to keep the scrum up. Is this poor technique? The opponent getting one up on you every time? Clever buying of penalties? From the player safety point of view crouch/touch/engage was not great, although the hit without prebind maybe meant the props were less bold in their strategies, knowing that getting the bind was key.
