Premiership Rugby 20/21 - Rd 10

[TRF_Olyy]

Should still be a yellow for Joseph, there - even with the try scored

Edit: And it is! Too often you see things like that let go because of a try

 

[Rinkadink]

Yeeeeeees.

Joseph very lucky that wasn't his second yellow. Control now Glawz.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So Bath utterly incompetent but Glos have made throwing away games into an art form...

Both sides completely deserving of where they are sat in the league.

 

[Rinkadink]

No idea why Barfers hate Priestland, man's been outstanding for them. Big kick from a really daft penalty.

Oh well.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Think with a bit of sympathy Barnes could have found some mitigation but none of the assistants are going to question him, especially when he took over control of the review process.

How was the deliberate knock not spotted either?

I thought Barnes worked through both reds systematically any logically. I don’t suppose any ref enjoys dishing out early baths, but the rules are what they are and players have to learn. They’re not really going to get the benefit of any doubt in the current climate.

Very conflicted about that red

That new 20min bin then a sub comes on, that they're trialling in super rugby, will be interesting to see

Something like that has to be looked at. Save the reds for the outright dirty but that’s still a tough sanction for the reckless / careless.

I've not watched the match, or seen or read about the card offences.
I have no problem with red cards for outright dangerous play - whether deliberate / dirty, or reckless / careless. If something is frankly dangerous, then it's frankly dangerous, regardless of intent. If it's preventable, then you need the red card pour encourager les autres. Citing commissioners can then look at intent, and degree, and sort that out with bans.

Unpopular opinion: I'd be in favour of orange cards for either allowing play-on whilst the TMO sorts it out; or for more acceptable forms of "dangerous play" like thrown punches etc - a red mist descending, and needs time off to calm down. Also way better for reds as a result of 2 yellows (though I'd leave the 2nd yellow as a simple yellow, and allow the citing commissioners to sort it out later. ETA: Of course, offences that are simply not your fault should never be red - if you're standing under the high ball, and Biggar puts his knee to your head, that should NOT be a red (or even a penalty - it should be a yellow for Biggar for creating the danger).

Whilst we don't have crowds, seems the perfect time to crack down on this stuff, and get the players to change they way without "ruining" £30-80 each for 12,000 fans

1st one is a red by letter of the law but probably is where the 20 min sin bin starts coming into play in trial down south in Auz.

the 2nd is a straight red no question, tbh by letter of the law both were thought through and correctly assigned. thought the clarity that WB gave was fair and gave his touch judges an adequate chance to intervene.

Dire game in total.

 

[Jimbo]

Smith having a mare kicking from hand nice to see him chase nd make the tackle after his own error.

Can't agree with this, Barnes gave plenty of opportunity for anyone to say they disagreed and did the exact opposite of taking over control of the review process (it's for the ref to go through that process anyway). He was fair and methodical in both cases.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This is all going to kick off soon

I missed the start, is there any reason for the ****le?

Don’t think u can question either or any law amendment should make any difference you can either hit to the head with force or you can’t, I see it as that simple, just because he is the ball carrier shouldn’t make any difference, appreciate he is not a dirty player and doesn’t seem the malicious type just plays with physically but he simply got it wrong on the day and can have no complaints.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nah, just both teams competing hard at the rucks so plenty of big collisions leading to some push and shove


Chiefs get a lot of stick for their speed at the ruck but Care is definitely the biggest **** taker on box kicks - and the ref isn't even hurrying him up

You know what northerners are like always got to make out they are hard as ****, pair that with a SA contingent and you got ****le.

Captain Danny Care based on how he looks now

Was that an 8 making a break and running? Pfft absolutely ruined his England chances with that.

 

[Reiser99]

Excellent from Dombrandt to open up the defence and well taken by Marchant as the ball was above his head, but managed to take it and not lose too much speed.

 

[Jimbo]

Yard won’t want to watch that back.

 

[JG-21]

Yarde and Solomona trying to outdo each other in poor defending here

May take his time, but a bloody good kick by Care.
