[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 564738, member: 13739"] How can that not be deemed a red card offence? Kearney wasn't 'pulling the ball back towards him' as you continuously say munstermuffin (look at the video, he places the ball and then get's booted in the head). They have set a president here which could enable any player to come into an ruck or tackle area and swing for the ball regardless if someone's in front of it or not. There was a risk of serious injury here, and it could easily have been avoided. This isn't the same as a player going to kick a loose ball and an opposition player falling on it at the same time. Kearney's head was always in the way of that ball, so I fail to understand where the 'mistake' was made. It was a rush of blood which caused POC to do something he usually wouldn't, still doesn't make him innocent. What a farce.... Edit. Pretty sure 90% of high tackles and tip tackles are 'genuine attempts' to make a tackle as well. Still doesn't mean that those who commit them escape sanction. [/QUOTE]
