[QUOTE="Rinkadink, post: 953561, member: 74190"] Disagree that red cards automatically decide the fate of the match, there are plenty of examples of 14 beating 15 and even if not winning, making a good account of themselves. It just makes it harder, which is the idea and it works well. See the recent Australia vs New Zealand as an example of it working as intended. WBs were winning anyway, rightful red card means ABs had to change things up and work harder to win, which they could have but ultimately didn't and Australia eventually ended up breaking them mentally and physically. The added difficulty is the fault of the team who gave away the red, it would be a joke to lessen the punishment for the match. They're only reserved for severe infractions and carry with them appropriate downsides. [/QUOTE]
