[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 1042410, member: 71899"] I think he's got a point to be fair. But he's stuffed due to the fact that potential litigation is going to drive the direction of the game. Ultimately it doesn't matter how much current players wish to play a game that involves giving each other brain damage World Rugby cannot allow that. If they do, they'll be sued out of existence. There have been some absolute nonsense red cards but Ewers isn't really one of those. He absolutely smashed a bloke in the head. Given the current climate it's unbelievable (bar ref competence) that Ewers wasn't red carded on the pitch. I feel for the guy, he's clearly not a dirty player but he does favour upright tackling (at which he's awesome). That type of player evolves or will be driven out of the game through sanction. Or coaches like Baxter need to live with the risk of playing them. [/QUOTE]
